• Per person: This was around 3.6 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by around 1.01 megatonnes CO₂e a year, or 1.5% yearly, over the ten years to 2024-slower than the 4% yearly global decline needed for Net Zero in 2050 and warming of around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: CO₂ makes up 64.42% of emissions, methane 27.28%, nitrous oxide 7.7% and F-gases 0.6%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Guatemala's emissions have produced around 6,750 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.17% of the global total, or around 7.9 tonnes per person per year, rated very high.
