CO2 emissions (kg per PPP $ of GDP)

This indicator quantifies carbon dioxide emissions linked to economic output, specifically focusing on how much CO2 is released per unit of purchasing power parity-adjusted GDP. It encompasses emissions generated from various activities, notably the combustion of fossil fuels and the production processes involved in cement manufacturing. By examining these emissions relative to economic performance, this metric reveals the ecological efficiency of a nation's economy and underscores the interplay between growth and sustainability. Higher values may indicate a reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources, while lower values often reflect advancements in cleaner technologies, energy efficiency, and a shift towards renewable energy, highlighting the significance of sustainable development in curbing climate change impacts.
