• Per person: Emissions were around 0.8 tonnes per person per year, rated low on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by around 0.1 megatonnes CO₂e a year, or 18.6% yearly, over the ten years to 2024-faster than the 4% yearly global decline needed for Net Zero in 2050 and around 1.7 °C warming.
• What drives it: Methane made up around 97% of emissions, nitrous oxide 31%, F-gases 6% and CO₂ -34%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Samoa's emissions have produced around 48 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, 0% of the global total, or around 2.8 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate.
