Band 5+: The graph below shows average carbon dioxide emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.

The image depicts average carbon dioxide emissions per person in metric tonnes in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Portugal from 1967 to 2007. In 1967, emissions were highest in the United Kingdom at approximately 11 metric tonnes, followed by Sweden at around 9 metric tonnes, Italy at roughly 4 metric tonnes, and Portugal at about 1 metric tonne. By 1977, United Kingdom emissions decreased to around 10 metric tonnes, while Sweden’s emissions peaked at nearly 11 metric tonnes. Italy’s emissions rose to about 6 metric tonnes, and Portugal’s increased to around 2 metric tonnes. In 1987, the United Kingdom’s emissions were around 9.5 metric tonnes, Sweden’s dropped to approximately 7.5 metric tonnes, Italy’s continued to rise to about 7 metric tonnes, and Portugal’s grew to around 3.5 metric tonnes. By 1997, the United Kingdom’s emissions decreased further to around 9 metric tonnes, Sweden’s reduced significantly to about 5.5 metric tonnes, Italy’s plateaued at 8 metric tonnes, and Portugal’s increased to around 4.5 metric tonnes. In 2007, the United Kingdom’s emissions were approximately 8.5 metric tonnes, Sweden’s fell to around 6 metric tonnes, Italy’s emissions slightly decreased to about 7.75 metric tonnes, and Portugal’s emissions reached roughly 5 metric tonnes.
