CO2 Emissions per Capita: Armenia

Analysis# Armenia CO2 Emissions per Capita Armenia's per capita CO2 emissions reached 2.47 metric tons in 2024, reflecting a nation in the lower-middle range globally. This figure stands far below the country's peak of 5.976 metric tons in 1991, yet remains well above its historical low of 0.791 metric tons in 1996. Since 1970, Armenia has reduced emissions per capita by 39.4%, demonstrating a significant long-term decline despite recent fluctuations. A sharp reversal occurred around 2015, when emissions began climbing from a low of 1.87 metric tons. The upward trajectory accelerated through 2022, reaching 2.618 metric tons before stabilizing in 2023–2024. This recent uptick suggests renewed industrial or energy activity, though current levels remain substantially lower than the post-Soviet peaks of the early 1990s.
