Konsumtionsbaserade växthusgasutsläpp per person och år (consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions per person)
The greenhouse gas footprint of an average person in Sweden, in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per person per year, 2008-2023: the emissions, in Sweden and abroad, from producing everything used in Sweden, divided among its population. Split into six parts that do not overlap: household transport, food products, housing and other household consumption, plus public consumption (schools, hospitals, agencies) and investment (buildings including new homes, machinery, computers, valuables and changes in inventories), which are not personal choices. Built by SCB's environmental accounts with an environmentally extended input-output model. International flights are undercounted (only jet fuel bought in Sweden, no stopovers, no high-altitude effect). Sweden only.

Status
- Programme
- Official statistics of Sweden, updated each autumn with data two years behind. The page reviewed on 28 October 2025 holds 2008-2023 and announces the next update for autumn 2026 with data to 2024, so the values may change soon. The series exists only inside the page's chart payload, so each fetch keeps the whole page as a snapshot and the transform stops if the payload's shape changes. Not a US federal product.
