Greenhouse gases: emissions per person in France 2005-2018

* CO2 Teq = CO2 equivalent tonnes = the global warming potential of a greenhouse gas, calculated by equivalence with a quantity of CO2 that would have the same warming potential

The source adds the following information: "This indicator shows the trends in anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases contained in the" Kyoto basket ". The "Kyoto basket" includes the following greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and so-called fluorinated gases (hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride - SF6). These gases are grouped into a single unit according to factors corresponding to their specific global warming potential (GWP). Aggregate emissions of greenhouse gases are expressed in units of CO2 equivalent. The indicator does not include land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) emissions and removals; it does not include emissions from international shipping, but does include emissions from international aviation and indirect emissions of CO2. CO2 emissions from biomass with energy recovery are reported "as a reminder", in accordance with UNFCCC guidelines, and are not included in national greenhouse gas totals. Emissions per capita highlight the differences between the specific emissions of the Member States. Emission targets for countries are not shown in terms of emissions per capita, but are calculated in relation to the Kyoto base year. "
