Kyrgyzstan in context

0.09% vs 0.03%

Share of people vs share of CO₂

Kyrgyzstan is home to 0.09% of the world’s population and produces 0.03% of its fossil CO₂, so its share of emissions is smaller than its share of people.

−39%

Change since 1990

Emissions in 2024 were 39% lower than in 1990, the baseline year of the Kyoto Protocol (19.2 Mt then). World emissions rose 70% over the same period.

19 Mt

Consumption-based CO₂ (2023)

Counting the CO₂ in goods it imports and exports, Kyrgyzstan was responsible for 19.2 Mt in 2023, 73% more than the 11.1 Mt produced at home: it is a net importer of emissions.

214 g

CO₂ per kWh of energy

Each kilowatt-hour of primary energy used in Kyrgyzstan came with about 214 g of CO₂ in 2024 (world: 218 g), pointing to an energy mix close to the world average.

0.36 kg

CO₂ per dollar of GDP

Its economy emitted 0.36 kg of CO₂ for each dollar of output in 2022 (adjusted for purchasing power), 1.3× the world average of 0.29 kg.

Questions and answers

How much CO₂ does Kyrgyzstan emit?

Kyrgyzstan emitted 11.8 million tonnes of CO₂ from fossil fuels and industry in 2024, 0.0% of global emissions. That is about 0 tonnes every second.

What are Kyrgyzstan’s CO₂ emissions per person?

Kyrgyzstan emits 1.6 tonnes per person, 65% below the world average of 4.7 t. Per-person emissions divide the national total by population (7.2 million people in 2024).

Are Kyrgyzstan’s CO₂ emissions rising or falling?

Emissions rose 6.3% in 2024 compared with 2023. Compared with 2005, emissions are up 115%. Emissions peaked in 1985 at 21.8 million tonnes and are now 46% lower.

What is the main source of CO₂ emissions in Kyrgyzstan?

Coal is the largest source, at 48% of Kyrgyzstan’s fossil and industry CO₂ in 2024 (5.7 million tonnes).

What are Kyrgyzstan’s consumption-based CO₂ emissions?

About 19.2 million tonnes in 2023, 73% more than the 11.1 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 Kyrgyzstan contributed to historical CO₂ emissions?

Since 1750, Kyrgyzstan has emitted about 1 billion tonnes of fossil CO₂, 0.1% of the world total, the 85th largest historical contribution.
