Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in Nepal is 0.536 t CO2e/capita, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 3.1% on the previous year and up 101.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in Nepal peaked at 0.5898 t CO2e/capita in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0249 t CO2e/capita, in 1976.
Nepal ranks 160th of 203 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
