How to read it

Across 19 countries in Oceania, the highest value is in Palau (82.84 t) and the lowest in Nauru (0.00 t).

The median country is at 0.59 t: half are above, half below.

Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
