Chile – per capita Fossil CO2 Emissions and Climate Debt
2020
Chile’s current Climate Breakdown Pricing amounts to $11.78 per tons Fossil CO2 emitted since 2000. The Climate Debt grew from $437 per capita in 2015 to $934 in 2020. Updated Rankings of 165 countries are available in the menu “Climate Debt”.
The following diagrams expose the trends of Fossil CO2 Emissions, Climate Debt, GDP(ppp-$), Forest Cover, Primary Forest and Ecological Footprint without carbon.
Venezuela – per capita Fossil CO2 Emissions and Climate Debt (economic collapse)
2020
Venezuela’s current Climate Breakdown Pricing amounts to $10.04 per tons Fossil CO2 emitted since 2000. The Climate Debt grew from $655 per capita in 2015 to $1,045 in 2020. However, once updated data on national GDP(ppp-$) is released, then the current Climate Debt will prove to be considerably smaller (more below). Updated Rankings of 165 countries are available in the menu “Climate Debt”.
The following diagrams expose the trends of Fossil CO2 Emissions, GDP(ppp-$), Climate Debt, Forest Cover, Primary Forest and Ecological Footprint without carbon.
Argentina – per capita Fossil CO2 Emissions and Climate Debt
2020
Argentina’s current Climate Breakdown Pricing amounts to $10.19 per tons Fossil CO2 emitted since 2000. The Climate Debt grew from $420 per capita in 2015 to $928 in 2020. Updated Rankings of 165 countries are available in the menu “Climate Debt”.
The following diagrams expose the trends of Fossil CO2 Emissions, Climate Debt, GDP(ppp-$) and Ecological Footprint without carbon.
Mexico – per capita Fossil CO2 Emissions and Climate Debt
2020
Mexico’s current Climate Breakdown Pricing amounts to $8.71 per tons Fossil CO2 emitted since 2000. The Climate Debt grew from $291 per capita in 2015 to $662 in 2020. Updated Rankings of 165 countries are available in the menu “Climate Debt”.
The following diagrams expose the trends of Fossil CO2 Emissions, Climate Debt, GDP(ppp-$), Nuclear Power and Ecological Footprint without carbon.
Share of global Climate Debt rank 67th, 68th and 69th: Ecuador, Uzbekistan and Cyprus (combined responsible for 0.08% of Climate Debt and 0.44% of Fossil CO2 Emissions 2016)
2018
The diagram below shows ‘Share of global Climate Debt‘ in 2010, 2015 and 2017 of Ecuador, Uzbekistan and Cyprus (ranked 67th, 68th and 69th). The share of Cyprus is continuously decreasing.
Share of global Climate Debt rank 64th, 65th and 66th: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania and Lebanon (combined responsible for 0.10% of Climate Debt and 0.35% of Fossil CO2 Emissions 2016)
2018
The diagram below shows ‘Share of global Climate Debt‘ in 2010, 2015 and 2017 of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania and Lebanon (ranked 64th, 65th and 66th). The shares of Romania and Lebanon are ups and downs, while the share of Bosnia and Herzegovina is steadier.
Climate change performance of Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru
2015
1.4% of the global population lives in Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia or Peru, and together they emitted 0.6% of the global CO2 from fossil fuels in 2012. Ecuador’s updated Climate Debt per capita is $84 and Bolivia’s is $18. Colombia and Peru are both Contribution Free. See the ‘ranking’ by November 2014. The following examines the indicators of CO2 Emissions (carbon dioxide from fossil fuels), Forests and GDP(ppp-$).
Brazil’s rainforests and climate change performance
2014
The Google map of the Amazon is from the new interactive ‘Global Forest Change‘ developed by The University of Maryland (read ‘more’). The red is Forest Loss from 2000 to 2012, the blue is Forest Gain and the green is Forest Extent (unchanged). The purple is areas of mixed Forest Loss and Forest Gain. According to Brazil’s environment minister the lowest recorded deforestation of Brazil since 1988, was in 2012. Furthermore, up to a third of the cleared rainforest over the past decades may be on the way back (regrowth).
Venezuela loses big to Colombia in climate responsibility
2014
Colombia was Contribution Free in ClimatePositions 2010 and Venezuela was the 43rd worst performing country out of 145 (see the menu “Contributions”). The Venezuelan Climate Contribution (climate debt) was $313 per capita which was the 3rd largest in America after the extreme polluters United States and Canada. The diagram shows the Climate Contributions over time per capita of Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador and the world average (145 countries). In the updated calculation Venezuela’s Contribution has increased to $428 per capita (worsened two country rankings). The following examines Colombia’s and Venezuela’s CO2 Emissions, Ecological Footprint, Environmental Performance and forest cover.
Rainforest in Ecuador and global funding
2013
Ecuador was the 68th worst performing country out of 145 in ClimatePositions 2010, but the Climate Contribution (debt) was entirely due to reductions in rainforest since 1990. The diagram shows the forest coverage in percent of the total area in 1990 (49.9%) and 2010 (35.6%). The total national Contribution (debt) was 626 million US$ in 2010.
