Pakistan – per capita Fossil CO2 Emissions (zero Climate Debt)
2020
Although Pakistan’s accumulated Climate Debt is zero, the populous country is the world’s 32nd largest emitter of Fossil CO2.
The following diagrams expose the trends of Fossil CO2 Emissions, GDP(ppp-$), Environmental Performance and Ecological Footprint without carbon.
The first diagram shows the Fossil CO2 Emissions per capita annually between 2000 and 2018. The green bars show the Free Emissions Level. Pakistan is far from having Climate Debt.
When Pakistan enters the next 20-year period (ClimatePositions 2020-2039) most of the emissions gap between the green and the black lines (unused Free Fossil CO2 Emissions) will no longer be available. In other words, any country’s unused Free Fossil CO2 Emissions will basically be deleted at the end of the 20-year period. The final calculation will be made when Fossil CO2 Emissions 2019 are released.
The second diagram shows Fossil CO2 Emissions in tons per capita in decades. Again, the green bars show the Free Emission Level. The grey bars are World Fossil CO2 Emissions average.
The third diagram shows per capita GDP(ppp-$) of Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, China and Bangladesh.
The next diagram shows the relative Environmental Performance of Pakistan, India and Afghanistan, with an average country among 182 set at 100. Note that data is three years prior to the specified years.
The final diagram shows the relative per capita Ecological Footprint without the carbon footprint of the same three countries, with an average country among 181 set at 100. Note that data is three years prior to the specified years.
