Europe’s per capita greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in 2021 (tCO₂-e) are represented using a color gradient, with darker shades indicating higher emissions. The ten most populous countries are shown with proportional symbols, where larger symbols correspond to larger populations.
Population symbols identify Europe’s ten most populous countries.
