Analysis# Bangladesh CO2 Emissions per Capita
Bangladesh currently emits 0.716 metric tons of CO2 per capita in 2024, representing both its all-time peak and a dramatic increase from 1970's low of 0.048 metric tons. Over this 54-year span, per capita emissions have surged 1,391.7%, reflecting the nation's rapid industrialization and economic growth.
The acceleration has been consistent since 2015, when emissions stood at 0.536 metric tons. Annual increases followed through 2019 (0.663), with a minor dip in 2020 likely due to pandemic-related slowdowns. Recovery resumed strongly in 2021 (0.702), pushing to the current record of 0.716 in 2024. This upward trajectory suggests Bangladesh's carbon footprint will continue climbing alongside its development, positioning emissions management as an increasingly critical policy concern.
