Luxembourg has the highest greenhouse gas emission per capita of countries in the European Union. In 2017, each Luxembourger emitted 20.2 tons of carbon dioxide, notably more than Swedes, at 5.5 tons of carbon dioxide. One reason for Luxembourg's high carbon footprint is that it has the highest number of passenger cars per 1,000 inhabitants in the European Union.
