Analysis# El Salvador CO2 Emissions per Capita
El Salvador's per capita CO2 emissions reached 1.506 metric tons in 2024, marking the country's all-time peak. This represents a dramatic 244.6% increase since 1970, when emissions were substantially lower. The current figure stands far above the historic low of 0.397 metric tons recorded in 1984, reflecting decades of economic growth and rising energy consumption.
Recent data reveals an accelerating upward trend. Emissions dipped to 1.067 metric tons in both 2017 and 2020 but have climbed steadily since, jumping from 1.303 in 2019 to 1.506 by 2024. This sustained 5-year rise suggests El Salvador's carbon footprint continues expanding despite global climate commitments, signaling potential pressure on the country's emissions trajectory ahead.
