Analysis# Dominica CO2 Emissions per Capita
Dominica's per capita CO2 emissions reached 1.273 metric tons in 2024, marking both the country's all-time high and its current level. Since 1970, when emissions stood at just 0.109 metric tons, the nation has experienced a dramatic 1057.3% increase. This upward trajectory reflects decades of economic development and increased energy consumption across the island nation.
Recent years show volatility rather than a consistent pattern. After climbing to 1.27 metric tons in 2019, emissions dipped to 1.141 in 2020, likely reflecting pandemic-related disruptions. Recovery followed quickly, with 2021–2024 data indicating a steady upward trend, climbing from 1.137 to the current 1.273 metric tons. This recent acceleration suggests Dominica's emissions will continue rising unless targeted climate mitigation policies are implemented.
