Analysis# Argentina CO2 Emissions per Capita
Argentina's per capita CO2 emissions reached 4.011 metric tons in 2024, down from a peak of 4.537 metric tons in 2013 but well above the 1990 low of 3.059 metric tons. Since 1970, emissions have climbed 9.3%, reflecting the country's economic development and energy consumption patterns over five decades.
The most significant decline occurred between 2015 and 2020, when per capita emissions fell from 4.513 to 3.72 metric tons—a drop of roughly 18% in just five years. This sharp decrease likely reflects economic challenges and reduced industrial activity during Argentina's 2018-2019 recession. Recent years show stabilization around 4.0 metric tons, with 2024 continuing the modest downward trajectory from 2023's 4.17 metric tons.
