Analysis# Saint Lucia CO2 Emissions per Capita
Saint Lucia's per capita CO2 emissions reached 1.711 metric tons in 2024, marking the highest level in the country's recorded history. Since 1970, emissions have surged 486%, climbing from a low of 0.239 metric tons in 1981. The island nation's carbon footprint remains modest compared to global averages, yet the upward trajectory reflects growing energy consumption and economic development over five decades.
The most significant acceleration occurred between 2017 and 2019, when emissions jumped from 1.113 to 1.659 metric tons—a sharp 49% increase in just two years. A brief dip in 2020 (likely pandemic-related) proved temporary, with emissions rebounding and stabilizing around 1.65–1.71 metric tons through 2024. Without intervention, Saint Lucia's emissions trajectory suggests continued growth aligned with expanding tourism and transportation sectors.
