Analysis
The most recent figure for energy — emissions per capita in Afghanistan is 0.35 t CO2eq/cap, measured in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.9% on the previous year and up 2.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions per capita in Afghanistan peaked at 0.45 t CO2eq/cap in 2011 and was at its lowest, 0.07 t CO2eq/cap, in 2000.
That places Afghanistan 195th out of 207 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions indicators disseminates indicators on sectoral shares of total national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as three indicators of emissions intensity: per capita emissions; emissions per value of agricultural production; and emissions per area of agricultural land.
