🇲🇳 Mongolia's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Key Messages

• Emissions: Mongolia emitted around 98.7 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.17% of the global total.
• Per person: That is around 28.4 tonnes per person per year, rated extremely high on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions rose by roughly 3.52 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: Methane accounts for 42.11% of emissions, CO₂ 41.5%, nitrous oxide 14.98% and F-gases 1.4%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Mongolia's emissions have produced around 8,190 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, 0.21% of the global total, or around 37.5 tonnes per person per year.
