That would make us #4 for "Share of World": https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-by-country. Not insignificant.
3.3 billion tonnes CO2 per year (2024): https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20260123-1
With a population of 449.2 million (2024) https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20240711-1
That's about ~7.34 tonnes per capita (which would make us ~35th highest per-capita producer)
Not bad for 27 countries.
