COMMENTARY     

Edria Murray
Staff editor
9th February 2005 		As this statistic indicates the amount of polluting emissions per GDP dollar - a low value is more desirable.

Emissions per GDP dollar is calculated by comparing
href=/graph/env_co2_emi&int=-1>total Carbon dioxide emissions to
href=/graph/eco_gdp&int=-1>total GDP.
In general, countries which have a high GDP also have a high rate of carbon dioxide

emissions. However a country can gain a high value in this statistic by having high total

carbon dioxide emissions, a low GDP or both.



For example: Burkina Faso has a similar GDP to Trinidad & Tobago. However the total

Carbon dioxide emissions of Trinidad and Tobago are eighteen times as high as those for

Burkina Faso, so Trinidad and Tobago has a very high value for emissions per GDP.



Carbon dioxide emissions in Burkina Faso have remained roughly static since 1998, however

emissions per GDP may appear to be lower than in the past as the GDP of Burkina Faso has

increased significantly over this time period.
