Analysis
In 2023, energy — emissions per capita in Mongolia stood at 19.13 t CO2eq/cap.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 28.5% on the previous year and down 1.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions per capita in Mongolia peaked at 21.13 t CO2eq/cap in 2019 and was at its lowest, 3.18 t CO2eq/cap, in 2000.
That places Mongolia 9th out of 207 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
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.
