Key Messages

• Emissions: Myanmar emitted around 187 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.33% of the global total.
• Per person: This was around 3.4 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by around 6.3 megatonnes CO₂e a year, or 3% yearly, over the ten years to 2024-slower than the 4% yearly global decline needed for Net Zero in 2050 and around 1.7 °C warming.
• What drives it: CO₂ accounted for 62.5% of emissions, methane 30.64%, nitrous oxide 6.45% and F-gases 0.4%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Myanmar's emissions have produced around 24,800 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.63% of the global total, averaging around 6.8 tonnes per person per year and rated high.
