🇪🇨 Ecuador's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Key Messages

• Emissions: Ecuador emitted around 63.6 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.11% of the global total.
• Per person: In 2024, emissions were around 3.5 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate on a scale where any amount above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by about 4.17% a year over the ten years to 2024, slightly faster 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 58% of Ecuador's emissions, methane 33%, nitrous oxide 7% and F-gases 1.7%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Ecuador's emissions have produced around 9,130 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.23% of the global total, with a population-weighted average of around 10 tonnes per person per year, rated very high.
