Analysis# Algeria CO2 Emissions per Capita
Algeria's per capita CO2 emissions reached 3.981 metric tons in 2024, remaining below its all-time peak of 4.197 metric tons in 2019. Since 1970, emissions have surged 178.6%, climbing from a low of 1.429 metric tons as the country industrialized and expanded its energy sector. The current level reflects a slight decline from recent years, though Algeria continues to rank among moderate emitters regionally.
The 2020 dip to 3.904 metric tons coincided with global pandemic-related economic slowdowns, yet emissions rebounded in 2021–2022 before settling lower in 2024. Year-to-year volatility between 3.9 and 4.2 metric tons over the past decade suggests emissions have stabilized at an elevated plateau rather than entering sustained decline. Continued monitoring will reveal whether 2024's decrease signals a meaningful shift or a temporary fluctuation.
