CO2 Emissions per Capita: Bahrain

Analysis# Bahrain CO2 Emissions per Capita Bahrain's per capita CO2 emissions stand at 23.9 metric tons in 2024, reflecting a modest decline from recent peaks but remaining substantially elevated compared to historical lows. Since 1970, emissions have climbed 66.9%, rising from 14.037 metric tons to current levels. The nation hit its all-time peak of 28.494 metric tons in 1998, demonstrating the severity of industrial and energy-related emissions during that period. Recent data reveals fluctuation rather than sustained improvement. After climbing to 25.468 metric tons in 2022, emissions have decreased marginally over the following two years. The 2024 figure suggests a potential downward trajectory, though volatility between 2015 and 2023—ranging from 22.485 to 25.468 metric tons—indicates inconsistent progress. Sustained reductions will require continued focus on energy diversification and emission-reduction initiatives.
