CO2 Emissions per Capita: Jordan

Analysis# Jordan CO2 Emissions per Capita Jordan's per capita CO2 emissions stood at 2.09 metric tons in 2024, representing a 47% decline from the country's peak of 3.945 metric tons in 1987. Since 1970, emissions have grown 19.4% overall, though the trajectory masks significant volatility across decades. The current level remains well above the historic low of 1.351 metric tons recorded in 1972, placing Jordan in a middle range for the 54-year period. A sharp downward trend emerged after 2015, when emissions reached 2.686 metric tons. By 2020, the figure had dropped to 1.928 metric tons—the lowest level since the early 1970s. While emissions rebounded slightly in 2021–2024, stabilizing around 2.07–2.10 metric tons, they remain substantially below 2015 levels. This sustained reduction suggests structural shifts in energy consumption or economic activity rather than temporary fluctuations.
