Analysis# Morocco CO2 Emissions per Capita
Morocco's per capita CO2 emissions reached 1.839 metric tons in 2024, remaining well below its 2019 peak of 1.985 metric tons. Since 1970, when emissions stood at just 0.448 metric tons, the country has experienced a 301.5% increase—a substantial rise reflecting Morocco's economic development and industrialization over five decades.
Recent years reveal a stabilizing pattern rather than continued growth. After spiking to 1.979 metric tons in 2021, emissions declined to 1.839 metric tons by 2024, suggesting a potential decoupling of emissions from economic activity. This downward momentum aligns with Morocco's renewable energy initiatives, including major solar and wind projects. The trajectory indicates emissions may be moderating despite ongoing development pressures.
