Analysis# Venezuela CO2 Emissions per Capita
Venezuela's per capita CO2 emissions reached 3.394 metric tons in 2024, representing a significant decline from its 2012 peak of 6.557 metric tons. The country has reduced emissions by 34.8% since 1970, reflecting major structural shifts in its economy and energy sector over five decades. Current levels remain above the all-time low of 2.687 metric tons recorded in 2021.
A dramatic drop occurred between 2015 and 2021, when emissions fell from 5.754 to 2.687 metric tons—a 53% decline driven by economic contraction and reduced industrial activity. Since 2021, emissions have rebounded slightly to 3.394 metric tons by 2024, suggesting stabilization rather than further decline. This modest recovery indicates the country's current energy consumption levels remain constrained compared to pre-crisis years.
