Key Messages

• Emissions: Peru emitted around 152 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.27% of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 4.4 tonnes per person per year in 2024, rated moderate on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions rose by around 0.71 megatonnes CO₂e a year over the ten years to 2024, or 0.5% yearly, 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 72.23% of emissions, methane 20.67%, nitrous oxide 6.26% and F-gases 0.83%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Peru's emissions have produced around 12,200 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.31% of the global total, or around 6.3 tonnes per person per year, rated high.
