Asia is by far the largest emitter, accounting for 53% of global emissions. As it is home to 60% of the world’s population this means that per capita emissions in Asia are slightly lower than the world average, however. China is, by a significant margin, Asia’s and the world’s largest emitter: it emits nearly 10 billion tonnes each year
Total household carbon footprint across 177 EU regions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent, encompassing both direct and embodied emissions. Note that only national averages are shown for Sweden and the Netherlands. Source: Ivanova et.al 2017. As for the per capita map, this also clearly shows large differences in emissions between regions.
Of the Top 10 Emitters, the US, Russia, Japan and the EU Have Reduced Per Capita Emissions. When looking at the top 10 total GHG emitters, the EU has reduced its per capita GHG emissions by 29% since 1990 and is now ranked at number 8 (7.04 tCO2e per person), below China (8.6 tCO2e per person) and Indonesia (7.2 tCO2e per person).
The USA has emitted most to date: more than a quarter of all historical CO 2: twice that of China which is the second largest contributor. In contrast, most countries across Africa have been responsible for less than 0.01% of all emissions over the last 266 years. What becomes clear when we look at emissions across the world today is that the

In fact, some European countries have emissions not far from the global average: In 2017 emissions in Portugal are 5.3 tonnes; 5.5t in France; and 5.8t per person in the UK. This is also much lower than some of their neighbours with similar standards of living, such as Germany, the Netherlands, or Belgium.

Most are in the Middle East: In 2017 Qatar had the highest emissions at 49 tonnes (t) per person, followed by Trinidad and Tobago (30t); Kuwait (25t); United Arab Emirates (25t); Brunei (24t); Bahrain (23t) and Saudi Arabia (19t).
