In 2020, carbon dioxide emissions in China amounted to approximately 9.9 billion tons, more than half of the total CO2 emissions in the Asia-Pacific region that year. In comparison, Sri Lanka emitted about 20.8 million tons of CO2 in 2020.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Asia-Pacific region in 2020, by country or territory
(in million metric tons)
According to the source, carbon emissions in this statistic reflect only those through consumption of oil, gas, and coal, and are based on standard global average conversion factors. This does not allow for any carbon that is sequestered, for other sources of carbon emissions, or for emissions of other greenhouse gases. Data might therefore differ from official national emissions data.
