CO2 Emissions per Capita: Grenada

Analysis# Grenada CO2 Emissions per Capita Grenada's per capita CO2 emissions reached 1.501 metric tons in 2024, approaching its all-time peak of 1.555 metric tons recorded in 2019. Since 1970, when emissions stood at just 0.116 metric tons, the country has experienced a dramatic 1,194% increase. This steep climb reflects Grenada's economic development and rising energy consumption over five decades, though current levels remain modest by global standards. The most significant turning point occurred between 2015 and 2019, when emissions surged from 1.021 to 1.555 metric tons—a 52% jump in four years. A notable dip followed in 2020, likely reflecting pandemic-related economic disruptions, before emissions resumed their upward trajectory. The consistent climb from 2020 onward, rising 13.6% to 1.501 metric tons by 2024, suggests sustained pressure from energy demand and economic activity.
