This is a list of sovereign states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission and Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency released in 2015. The following table lists the 2015 annual Template:CO2 emissions estimates (in thousands of Template:CO2 tonnes) along with a list of emissions per capita (in tonnes of Template:CO2 per year) from same source. The data only considers carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry. Emissions from international shipping or bunker fuels are also not included in national figures, which can make a large difference for small countries with important ports. The top 10 largest emitter countries account for 67.6% of the world total. Since 2006, China has been emitting more Template:CO2 than any other country. Other powerful, more potent greenhouse gases, including methane, are not included in this data.
