Analysis# Philippines CO2 Emissions per Capita
The Philippines emitted 1.503 metric tons of CO2 per capita in 2024, matching its all-time peak. Since 1970, per capita emissions have surged 112.6%, climbing from 0.533 metric tons in 1986—the lowest point in the data range. This upward trajectory reflects the nation's economic development and rising energy consumption over five decades.
The recent trend reveals consistent year-over-year growth from 2015 through 2024, with only one notable dip in 2020 (1.217 metric tons) during pandemic-related economic disruption. Emissions rebounded sharply afterward, increasing every year since. The acceleration from 1.414 metric tons in 2023 to 1.503 in 2024 signals continued expansion in emissions linked to industrial activity and transportation demand.
