• Trend: Emissions rose by around 3.3 megatonnes CO₂e, or 2.5%, 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: CO₂ makes up around 83% of Qatar's emissions, methane 14%, F-gases 2.7% and nitrous oxide 0.6%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Qatar's emissions have produced around 4,800 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.12% of the global total, averaging around 79.7 tonnes per person per year and rated extremely high.
