Data for 1995

Consumption-Based CO₂ Emissions, 1995

1995, as Global Carbon Project’s 2025 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

This counts the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and cement that goes into everything a country consumes, wherever in the world it was emitted. The steel, electronics and clothes a country imports carry the emissions of the factories that made them, so this is the fairer reading for a country that buys its manufactured goods abroad.

Consumption-Based CO₂ Emissions, 1995 covers 119 countries on 3 measures. United States is highest, at 1,470.1308; Tajikistan is lowest, at 0.1490. The middle country reads 7.6461. Against 1994, 119 values changed (89 up, 30 down), the same countries are covered.

04Caveats

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2025 release

    Every year in this series comes from Global Carbon Project’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1995.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 119 countries has every column.
