Analysis# Gibraltar CO2 Emissions per Capita
Gibraltar's per capita CO2 emissions reached 16.148 metric tons in 2024, down from a peak of 20.212 metric tons in 2019. Since 1970, emissions have surged 518.9%, climbing from just 1.976 metric tons. The territory's long-term trend reflects rapid industrialization and economic growth, though recent years show a notable reversal of this upward trajectory.
A significant turning point occurred in 2020, when emissions dropped to 17.676 metric tons—a sharp decline likely linked to pandemic-related disruptions. Rather than rebounding, Gibraltar's emissions have continued declining steadily through 2024, falling 20.1% from the 2019 peak. This sustained downward momentum suggests improving energy efficiency or shifts in economic activity, positioning Gibraltar on a path toward lower per capita emissions going forward.
