Analysis
Cyprus recorded 1.45 t CO2eq/cap for waste — emissions per capita in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 11.5% on the previous year and up 190.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, waste — emissions per capita in Cyprus peaked at 1.45 t CO2eq/cap in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.25 t CO2eq/cap, in 2002.
That places Cyprus 3rd out of 208 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.
