Total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from resident economic units per person, regardless of where they actually occur
\[ P P E G E I^{t}=\frac{E G E I^{t}}{P^{t}} \]Where: \( EG E I^{t}\)are the total greenhouse gas emissions of the economic units resident in year t (the total total national greenhouse gas emissions of the Emissions to the Atmosphere Account are distributed according to the total emissions of greenhouse gases by Autonomous Communities of the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GEI) and \( P^{t}\)is the population on July 1st in year t.

The indicator uses the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere published by the Atmospheric Emissions Account, which accounts for emissions from all resident units, regardless of the geographical location where those emissions actually occur. This differs from the data in the Atmospheric Emissions Inventory, which accounts for all emission sources within the national territory. The estimates in the Atmospheric Emissions Account are based on the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventories compiled by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.
