🇦🇹 Austria’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Population 9.12 Million, Europe.

Key Messages

• Emissions: Austria emitted around 69.8 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.12% of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 7.7 tonnes per person per year in 2024, rated very high on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Austria’s emissions fell by around 1.8% a year over the ten years to 2024, slower 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 made up around 79% of Austria’s total emissions, methane 13%, nitrous oxide 5.1% and F-gases 2.4%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Austria’s emissions have produced around 7,510 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.19% of the global total, or around 6.5 tonnes per person per year, rated high.
