"Note: Data are presented as rounded figures. However, all calculations have been performed using unrounded data. The table presents the ratio of annual greenhouse gas emissions per person and per unit of gross domestic product relative to those values in 1990 (that is the values are indexed to 1990). Greenhouse gas per unit of gross domestic product is calculated using real inflation-adjusted gross domestic product in 2017 dollars.",,,,
