Analysis# Pakistan CO2 Emissions per Capita
Pakistan's per capita CO2 emissions stand at 0.812 metric tons in 2024, reflecting a slight decline from the previous year. Since 1970, the country has experienced substantial growth of 173.4%, rising from 0.293 metric tons to a peak of 0.966 metric tons in 2022. Current emissions remain significantly below this recent high, positioning Pakistan among lower-emitting nations globally in per capita terms.
The trajectory from 2015 to 2024 reveals volatility rather than consistent growth. Emissions climbed steadily from 0.82 metric tons in 2015 to 0.966 in 2022, then contracted sharply to 0.844 in 2023 and 0.812 in 2024. This two-year decline suggests potential shifts in energy consumption patterns or economic activity, though the long-term trend since 1970 indicates sustained pressure for emissions management as Pakistan's development continues.
