The two charts 

compare data about the biggest carbon dioxide producers by country and per person in 2015.

Overall, it is clear that although China and the USA generated almost half of the world’s emissions in that year, the
highest polluters on an individual level were Saudi Arabians. Interestingly, despite being in the top 3 emitters globally, the
developing nations of China and India were not among the highest CO2 producers on a per person basis.

According to the pie chart, 31% of global CO2 emissions came from China in 2015, followed by 17% produced by the USA.
India, Russia, Japan and Germany accounted for approximately one fifth and the rest of the carbon dioxide came from all
the other nations of the world.

In terms of the emissions per person, it is clear that developed countries were the highest contributors. While Saudis
produced 16 metric tonnes per capita, the US, Australia and Canada were not far behind. South Koreans and Russians
were also in this top 6, accounting for 12 and 10 metric tonnes respectively.

The pie chart and the bar graph illustrate data about the six countries with the biggest contribution
towards carbon dioxide emissions and the top six nations with the highest emissions per person,
respectively, for the year 2015.

In terms of emissions per person, Saudi Arabia was the top producer with about 16 metric tonnes of
emissions. It was followed closely by the United States, Australia and Canada, with each country
generating around 15 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide. Further, South Korea contributed approximately
12 metric tonnes, while the figure for Russia was close to 10 metric tones.
