Analysis# French Polynesia CO2 Emissions per Capita
French Polynesia's per capita CO2 emissions reached 3.456 metric tons in 2024, roughly 27% below the all-time peak of 4.718 metric tons recorded in 1987. Since 1970, emissions have increased 178.7% from a low of 1.2 metric tons, reflecting broader industrialization and energy demands across the territory. The current level remains modest compared to global averages, yet the long-term upward trajectory reveals sustained growth pressures.
Recent years show volatility rather than consistent direction. Emissions declined sharply from 3.62 metric tons in 2015 to 2.287 in 2021, likely reflecting pandemic impacts and energy transitions. However, 2022 marked a reversal, with emissions rebounding to 3.302 metric tons and remaining elevated through 2024. This uptick suggests renewed economic activity may be outpacing decarbonization efforts in the territory.
