Key Messages

• Emissions: Egypt emitted around 351 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, accounting for 0.62% of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 3 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions rose by roughly 3.3 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 made up 74% of emissions, methane 14%, nitrous oxide 6.5% and F-gases 6%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Egypt's emissions have produced around 14,400 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, 0.37% of the global total, averaging around 2.6 tonnes per person per year.
