The USA has emitted most to date: more than a quarter of all historical CO 2: twice that of China which is the second largest contributor. In contrast, most countries across Africa have been responsible for less than 0.01% of all emissions over the last 266 years. What becomes clear when we look at emissions across the world today is that the

Enlarge / Per capita emissions for the top 4 countries/groups. The solid line simply calculates emissions taking place within their borders, while the dashed line adjusts for consumption of goods
Asia is by far the largest emitter, accounting for 53% of global emissions. As it is home to 60% of the world’s population this means that per capita emissions in Asia are slightly lower than the world average, however. China is, by a significant margin, Asia’s and the world’s largest emitter: it emits nearly 10 billion tonnes each year
This is because the emissions growth recorded in China and India suggests that citizens of these countries are now the biggest contributors to climate change. In reality, however, even after the dramatic growth recorded over the past three decades, per capita emissions remain higher in both Europe (7.3 MtCO2) and the US (16.1 MtCO2) than China
Total household carbon footprint across 177 EU regions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent, encompassing both direct and embodied emissions. Note that only national averages are shown for Sweden and the Netherlands. Source: Ivanova et.al 2017. As for the per capita map, this also clearly shows large differences in emissions between regions.
