Uzbekistan in context
0.45% vs 0.36%
Share of people vs share of CO₂
Uzbekistan is home to 0.45% of the world’s population and produces 0.36% of its fossil CO₂, so its share of emissions is smaller than its share of people.
+35%
Change since 1990
Emissions in 2024 were 35% higher than in 1990, the baseline year of the Kyoto Protocol (103.1 Mt then). World emissions rose 70% over the same period.
200 g
CO₂ per kWh of energy
Each kilowatt-hour of primary energy used in Uzbekistan came with about 200 g of CO₂ in 2024 (world: 218 g), pointing to a cleaner energy mix than the world average.
0.30 kg
CO₂ per dollar of GDP
Its economy emitted 0.30 kg of CO₂ for each dollar of output in 2022 (adjusted for purchasing power), close to the world average of 0.29 kg.
