The table provides information on the amount of carbon emissions in 2018 by typical people in different countries. It shows that carbon emissions vary among different countries, with the United States having the highest emissions per person and Mauritania having the lowest.
It is important for countries to know how many metric tons of carbon their citizens emit every year because it allows them to assess their contribution to global carbon emissions and develop strategies to mitigate climate change. Additionally, this information can help countries set targets, create policies, and promote awareness to reduce carbon emissions and transition towards a more sustainable future.
