Czechia in context

0.13% vs 0.20%

Share of people vs share of CO₂

Czechia is home to 0.13% of the world’s population and produces 0.20% of its fossil CO₂, so its share of emissions is larger than its share of people.

−54%

Change since 1990

Emissions in 2024 were 54% lower than in 1990, the baseline year of the Kyoto Protocol (164.3 Mt then). World emissions rose 70% over the same period.

100 Mt

Consumption-based CO₂ (2023)

Counting the CO₂ in goods it imports and exports, Czechia was responsible for 100.0 Mt in 2023, 20% more than the 83.2 Mt produced at home: it is a net importer of emissions.

192 g

CO₂ per kWh of energy

Each kilowatt-hour of primary energy used in Czechia came with about 192 g of CO₂ in 2024 (world: 218 g), pointing to a cleaner energy mix than the world average.

0.28 kg

CO₂ per dollar of GDP

Its economy emitted 0.28 kg of CO₂ for each dollar of output in 2022 (adjusted for purchasing power), close to the world average of 0.29 kg.

Questions and answers

How much CO₂ does Czechia emit?

Czechia emitted 75.6 million tonnes of CO₂ from fossil fuels and industry in 2024, 0.2% of global emissions. That is about 2 tonnes every second.

What are Czechia’s CO₂ emissions per person?

Czechia emits 7.0 tonnes per person, 1.5× the world average of 4.7 t. Per-person emissions divide the national total by population (10.7 million people in 2024).

Are Czechia’s CO₂ emissions rising or falling?

Emissions fell 9.1% in 2024 compared with 2023. Compared with 2005, emissions are down 40%. Emissions peaked in 1978 at 187.5 million tonnes and are now 60% lower.

What is the main source of CO₂ emissions in Czechia?

Coal is the largest source, at 46% of Czechia’s fossil and industry CO₂ in 2024 (34.4 million tonnes).

What are Czechia’s consumption-based CO₂ emissions?

About 100.0 million tonnes in 2023, 20% more than the 83.2 million tonnes emitted within its borders, because it imports more carbon-intensive goods than it exports. Consumption-based accounting adds the emissions embodied in imports and subtracts those in exports.

How much has Czechia contributed to historical CO₂ emissions?

Since 1750, Czechia has emitted about 12 billion tonnes of fossil CO₂, 0.7% of the world total, the 25th largest historical contribution.
