In 2017, CO2 emissions in Palau have grown 0.052 megatons, 4.55% compared to 2016.
CO2 emissions in 2017 were 1.196 megatons, making Palau is the 30th 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 Palau, have increased in 2017, in which they have been 55.05 tons per inhabitant.
Although its global emissions are not relevant, Palau is the country that pollutes the most with 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, Palau, has emitted 3.81 kilos for every $ 1,000 of GDP, more than in 2016. Palau is the least efficient country in environmental terms, since it is the one that emits the most CO2 per $ 1,000 of GDP.
In the table we can see the evolution of CO2 emissions, which have decreased since 2007, as have per capita emissions and as well as CO2 emissions per $ 1,000 of GDP.
Total carbon dioxide emissions have also decreased compared to 2012, although per capita emissions have increased in this period.Click on the following link to see the ranking of CO2 emissions by countries and in the Economy of Palau to see all the information we publish about Palau.
