Analysis# Thailand CO2 Emissions per Capita
Thailand's CO2 emissions per capita reached 3.96 metric tons in 2024, hovering near its all-time peak of 4.005 metric tons recorded in 2019. Since 1970, when emissions stood at just 0.548 metric tons per capita, the country has experienced a dramatic 605.9% increase, reflecting rapid industrialization and economic expansion over five decades.
Recent years reveal a volatile pattern rather than consistent growth. After peaking in 2019, emissions dipped to 3.744 metric tons in 2021, likely influenced by pandemic-related economic disruptions. The subsequent rebound to 3.96 metric tons in 2024 suggests Thailand's carbon intensity remains elevated. The narrow fluctuation band between 3.7 and 4.0 metric tons across 2015–2024 indicates the country has stabilized at a high baseline, with limited evidence of sustained decarbonization efforts.
