The 2022 World Inequality Report notes that Indonesian citizens in the highest income bracket generate significantly larger carbon emissions than those with lower incomes.

The report, compiled by the World Inequality Lab in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), details inequality in Indonesia, including ecological aspects.

According to the report, the top 1% of Indonesian earners, or the super-rich, generate an average of 42.2 tons of CO2 per capita annually.

Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of the Indonesian population generates significantly lower carbon emissions, only 1.4 tons of CO2 per capita per year.

Overall, Indonesia's per capita carbon emissions are relatively low, averaging 3 tons of CO2 per capita per year.

This is higher than India's average of 2 tons of CO2 per capita per year, but lower than other Asian countries such as China (8 tons of CO2 per capita per year) and Japan (12 tons of CO2 per capita per year).
