Analysis# Aruba CO2 Emissions per Capita
Aruba's per capita CO2 emissions reached 5.148 metric tons in 2024, marking both the highest point in its recorded history and a dramatic shift from 1970's baseline of 0.431 metric tons. Over 54 years, emissions have surged 1094.4%, reflecting the island's rapid economic development and increased energy consumption. The 2024 figure represents a 11.9-fold increase from the starting point, placing Aruba among higher emitters relative to its small population.
Recent years show an accelerating upward trend, with emissions climbing steadily from 4.286 metric tons in 2015 to the current peak. The 2020 pandemic dip to 4.501 metric tons proved temporary; emissions rebounded sharply in 2021 and continued rising through 2024. Without major shifts in energy infrastructure or consumption patterns, Aruba's per capita emissions trajectory suggests continued growth in coming years.
