China vs Norway: Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF per capita
Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- China
- Norway
How they compare
China currently reports 11.03 t CO2e/capita against 9.65 t CO2e/capita in Norway, a difference of 1.38 t CO2e/capita.
That makes China's figure about 1.1 times Norway's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Norway ahead.
China ranks 29th and Norway ranks 32nd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, China averaged higher in 1 and Norway in 5.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.3 t CO2e/capita | 14.52 t CO2e/capita | 12.22 t CO2e/capita | Norway |
| 1980s | 2.87 t CO2e/capita | 13.43 t CO2e/capita | 10.56 t CO2e/capita | Norway |
| 1990s | 3.68 t CO2e/capita | 12.98 t CO2e/capita | 9.3 t CO2e/capita | Norway |
| 2000s | 5.77 t CO2e/capita | 13.01 t CO2e/capita | 7.25 t CO2e/capita | Norway |
| 2010s | 9.33 t CO2e/capita | 12.04 t CO2e/capita | 2.7 t CO2e/capita | Norway |
| 2020s | 10.62 t CO2e/capita | 10.37 t CO2e/capita | 0.2431 t CO2e/capita | China |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
Total annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
