Analysis# Guatemala CO2 Emissions per Capita
Guatemala's per capita CO2 emissions reached 1.107 metric tons in 2024, nearly approaching its all-time peak of 1.15 metric tons in 2019. Since 1970, the country's emissions have grown 138.6%, climbing from a low of 0.398 metric tons in 1986. This significant increase reflects Guatemala's economic development and rising energy consumption over five decades, though current levels remain moderate by regional standards.
Recent years reveal volatile year-to-year fluctuations rather than a clear directional trend. A notable dip occurred in 2020 (1.015 metric tons), likely reflecting pandemic-related economic disruption, followed by a rebound to 1.148 metric tons in 2021. The subsequent stabilization around 1.10 metric tons through 2024 suggests emissions may be plateauing near current levels, though Guatemala's trajectory remains dependent on energy infrastructure development and industrial expansion.
