CO2 Emissions per Capita: Cyprus

Analysis# Cyprus CO2 Emissions per Capita Cyprus emitted 5.405 metric tons of CO2 per capita in 2024, placing it between its all-time low of 3.201 metric tons in 1974 and its peak of 7.847 metric tons in 2003. Since 1970, per capita emissions have grown 61.4%, reflecting the nation's economic development and increased energy consumption over five decades. The most significant turning point occurred around 2003, when emissions reached their historical maximum before declining substantially. A notable dip appeared in 2020 at 5.224 metric tons, likely reflecting pandemic-related economic slowdown, though emissions rebounded in subsequent years. Current levels hover near the 2019 figure, suggesting stabilization rather than continued growth or decline.
