CO2 emissions (kg per 2021 PPP $ of GDP)

This indicator measures the carbon dioxide emissions associated with economic output, specifically quantified as kilograms per unit of GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) based on the year 2017. It encompasses emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels—such as coal, oil, and natural gas—as well as emissions from cement production. By framing emissions in relation to economic performance, this metric provides insights into the carbon efficiency of a country's economy, highlighting the interplay between industrial activity and environmental impact. It serves as a crucial tool for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to assess progress in decoupling economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions, enabling more informed decisions to foster sustainable development while mitigating climate change.
