The carbon dioxide emissions intensity in the Middle East was 0.39 kilograms per U.S. dollar (kCO₂/$15p) in 2023. The Middle East's CO₂ emissions intensity has increased by more than five percent since 2000, and is now the second-highest CO₂ intensity worldwide, behind only the CIS. The Middle Eastern country Kuwait had the world's highest CO₂ intensity in 2023, at 0.75 kCO₂/$15p.

CO₂ emission intensity in kilograms per U.S. dollar
*Carbon dioxide intensity is the ratio of CO₂ emissions from fuel combustion over Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and measures the CO₂ emitted to generate one unit of GDP. GDP is expressed at constant exchange rate (2015 U.S. dollar, using purchasing power parities). This removes the impact of inflation. CO₂ emissions cover only the emissions for fossil fuels combustion.
