CO2 emissions, in Afghanistan in 2021, have grown 0.164 megatons, 2% compared to 2020.
CO2 emissions in 2021 were 8.348 megatons, making Afghanistan is the 71th conutry in the ranking of countries for CO2 emissions, made up of 184 countries, in which the countries are ranked from least to most pollutant.
In addition to its total emissions of CO2 into the atmospher, which logically depend, among other variables, on the country's population, it is convenient to analyze the behavior of its emissions per inhabitant. In the table we see that per capita CO2 emissions in Afghanistan, have decreased in 2021, in which they have been 0.21 tons per inhabitant.
If you look at evolution f CO2 emissions per 1000 dollars of GDP, which measures, for the same country, the "environmental efficiency" with which it is produced over time. In the last period, Afghanistan, has emitted 0.11 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, the same as in 2020.
In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have decreased in the last ten years, as have per capita emissions and as well as CO2 emissions per $ 1,000 of GDP.
However, in the last five years total emissions have increased, which is not good news.Click on the following link to see the ranking of CO2 emissions by countries and in the Economy of Afghanistan to see all the information we publish about Afghanistan.
