The chart shows GHG emissions per capita for 10 largest emitters.

In 2018 Qatar has largest GHG emissions of 36 tCO2eq per capita despite moderate total GHG emissions of 100 Mt CO2 eq.

China GHG emissions per capita was 8.4 tCO2eq in 2018 while US emissions was  17.8 tCO2eq.

Differences in heating and cooling requirements due to country location can influence per capita intensity.
