Analysis
Philippines recorded 2.2 tons/capita for per capita ghg emissions in 2018. That is the highest value across all 29 years on record.
The figure is up 1.4% on the previous year and up 27.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita ghg emissions in Philippines peaked at 2.2 tons/capita in 2018 and was at its lowest, 1.54 tons/capita, in 1992.
That places Philippines 156th out of 187 countries with data for 2018, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 29 years of available data.

About this data
Per capita greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the World Resource Institute's Climate Watch. Climate Watch Historical Emission data contains sector-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for 194 countries and the European Union (EU) for the period 1990-2018, including emissions of the six major GHGs from most major sources and sinks. Non-CO2 emissions are expressed in CO2 equivalents using 100-year global warming potential values from IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Climate Watch Historical GHG Emissions data (previously published through CAIT Climate Data Explorer) are derived from several sources. Any use of the Land-Use Change and Forestry or Agriculture indicator should be cited as FAO 2020, FAOSTAT Emissions Database. Any use of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion data should be cited as CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, OECD/IEA, 2020.
