Analysis# Peru CO2 Emissions per Capita
Peru's CO2 emissions per capita reached 2.024 metric tons in 2024, marking both its highest level on record and a significant increase from the nation's all-time low of 0.9 metric tons in 1991. Over the 54-year period from 1970 to 2024, per capita emissions rose 56.9%, reflecting Peru's economic development and growing energy consumption despite the country's relatively low emissions intensity compared to global averages.
Recent years reveal a sharp upward trajectory after 2020's pandemic-driven dip to 1.447 metric tons. From 2021 onward, emissions climbed steadily—jumping from 1.798 to 2.024 metric tons by 2024. This acceleration suggests Peru's post-pandemic economic recovery and increased industrial activity have outpaced efficiency gains, positioning the country on an upward emissions path heading into the mid-2020s.
