CO2 Emissions per Capita: Seychelles

Analysis# Seychelles CO2 Emissions per Capita Seychelles currently emits 7.237 metric tons of CO2 per capita in 2024, representing a significant decline from its 2004 peak of 12.871 metric tons. Since 1970, per capita emissions have increased 262.9% overall, rising from 1.545 metric tons to present levels. The island nation's emissions trajectory reflects decades of economic development and growth in tourism and energy consumption. A dramatic downward trend emerged after 2016, when per capita emissions reached 11.622 metric tons. Over the next eight years, emissions fell by roughly 38%, dropping to 7.237 metric tons by 2024. This sustained reduction suggests a shift toward cleaner energy practices and improved efficiency. If this recent momentum continues, Seychelles could approach emissions levels not seen since the early 1990s.
