🇪🇪 Estonia’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Population 1.36 Million, Europe.

Key Messages

• Emissions: Estonia emitted around 12.3 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.02% of the global total.
• Per person: This was around 9 tonnes per person per year, rated very high on a scale where any emissions above zero add warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by around 1.27 megatonnes CO₂e a year, or 7.19% annually, over the ten years to 2024-a faster decline than the 4% yearly global reduction needed for Net Zero in 2050 and around 1.7 °C warming.
• What drives it: CO₂ made up 74% of emissions, nitrous oxide 14%, methane 11% and F-gases 1.6%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Estonia’s emissions have produced around 2,380 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, 0.06% of the global total, averaging around 12.7 tonnes per person per year.
