Carbon intensity of GDP over time
- Australia
- Other small states
How they compare
Australia currently reports 0.2338 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP against 0.1481 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP in Other small states, a difference of 0.0857 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.6 times Other small states's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 35 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Other small states ahead.
Australia ranks 29th and Other small states ranks 27th of 191 countries.
Australia has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
