In 2013, CO2 emissions in Kazakhstan have grown 18.958 megatons, 7.4% compared to 2012.
CO2 emissions in 2013 were 275.252 megatons, making Kazakhstan is among the countries that pollute the most 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 Kazakhstan, have increased in 2013, in which they have been 16 tons per inhabitant.
Kazakhstan belongs to the group of countries that emit the most CO2 per inhabitant.
Regarding 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, Kazakhstan, has emitted 0.68 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, more than in 2012.
In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have grown since 2003, as have per capita emissions and, on the contrary, CO2 emissions per $ 1,000 of GDP.
Total carbon dioxide emissions have also increased in the last five years, as have per capita emissions, then the situation continues to worsen.
