🇦🇷 Argentina's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Key Messages

• Emissions: In 2024, Argentina emitted around 438 megatonnes CO₂e, about 0.77% of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 9.6 tonnes per person per year, rated very high on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Argentina's emissions rose by roughly 3.4 megatonnes CO₂e a year over the ten years to 2024, rather than the 4% yearly decline the world needs to achieve Net Zero in 2050 and limit warming to around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: CO₂ makes up around 57% of emissions, methane 26%, nitrous oxide 12% and F-gases 4.6%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Argentina's emissions have produced around 36,400 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.93% of the global total, averaging around 12.2 tonnes per person per year.
