Albania carbon profile

Albania emits roughly 4.4 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.01% of global emissions, ranking #111 worldwide. At 1.6 tonnes per person (#88 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have declined steadily over the past five years (-10%) and fallen sharply over the decade (-27%). The sustained downward trajectory suggests structural decarbonization rather than a one-off dip.

Renewables supply about 100% of electricity. The power sector is largely decarbonized, so remaining emissions come mostly from transport, industry and heating.

If the current pace holds, Albania could cut another ~10% by 2030. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
