The graph below shows average carbon dioxide (COz) emissions per person in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Portugal between 1967 and 2007. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The graph depicts the average CO2 footprint per individual in the UK,

Sweden

, Italy, and Portugal between 1967 and 2007.

Overall

, Co2 footprints in Italy and Portugal had an upward

trend

from 1967 to 2007.

Conversely

, the UK and

Sweden

experienced a downward

trend

. The minimum amount of carbon dioxide emissions was owned by Portugal in 1967, approximately 1 metric tonne, which was followed by Italy, approximately 4.2. Over the course of 40 years, both countries saw a gradual increase in CO2 emissions, reaching around 5.5 for Portugal and 7.5 for Italy in 2007.

In contrast

, despite the UK

trend

line decreasing, it still had the highest emissions with around 11 Metric tonnes in 1965 and around nine in 2007.

Additionally

,

Sweden

had a downward

trend

with a rise in 1977. Until 1987,

Sweden

had a higher CO2 footprint than Italy and Portugal, but in 2007, it reached Portugal's level, which was the minimum CO2 footprint among all four countries.
