Analysis# Kyrgyz Republic CO2 Emissions per Capita The Kyrgyz Republic's CO2 emissions per capita stood at 1.488 metric tons in 2024, representing a dramatic 71.5% decline since 1970. This current level sits well below the country's all-time peak of 6.348 metric tons in 1980, though modestly above its recorded low of 0.815 metric tons in 2001. The sustained reduction reflects fundamental shifts in the nation's energy infrastructure and economic structure over the past five decades. Recent annual data from 2015 to 2024 shows emissions fluctuating within a narrow band between 1.384 and 1.78 metric tons, with no clear directional trend. A notable dip occurred in 2020 (1.384 metric tons), likely reflecting pandemic-related activity reductions, followed by modest recovery in subsequent years. Current emissions suggest stabilization around 1.5 metric tons per capita, positioning the Kyrgyz Republic among lower-emitting nations globally.
