On a per-capita basis, OECD countries still emit far more CO2 than most other world regions, with
10.6 tonnes of CO2 emitted per capita on average in OECD countries in 2008, compared with 4.9 tonnes i...

China, and 1.2 tonnes in India (Figure 3.3). However, rapidly expanding economies are significantly
increasing their emissions per capita. China for instance doubled its emissions per capita between 2000 and
2008. These calculations are based on the usual definition that emissions are attributed to the place where
they occur, sometimes labelled the “production-based emissions accounting approach”. If one allocates
emissions according to their end-use, i.e. using a consumption-based approach, part of the emission
increases in the BRIICS regions would be attributed to the OECD countries, as these emissions are
“embedded” in exports from the BRIICS to the OECD (see Box 3.1)
