Carbon footprint

Warning

This source only includes the carbon footprint of CO₂. Other greenhouse gases : CH₄, N₂O, F-Gases are not taken into account here. CO₂ represents 74% of global greenhouse gases emissions, hence on average the carbon footprint of all greenhouse gases should be about 35% higher than the CO₂ carbon footprint.

About

The carbon footprint of a country is the total amount of CO₂ produced directly and indirectly by this country. It's the sum of the territorial CO₂ emissions, plus the CO₂ embedded in imports minus the CO₂ embedded in exports.
