Key Messages

• Emissions: Panama emitted around 22.3 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.04% of the global total.
• Per person: That is around 4.9 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Panama's emissions rose by around 0.076 megatonnes CO₂e a year, or 0.36% annually, 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 makes up around 70% of emissions, methane 19%, nitrous oxide 5.8% and F-gases 5.3%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Panama's emissions have produced around 2,810 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.07% of the global total. The population-weighted average is around 13 tonnes per person per year, rated extremely high.
