Bangladesh carbon profile

Bangladesh emits roughly 110 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.29% of global emissions, ranking #37 worldwide. At 0.7 tonnes per person (#100 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have surged over the past five years (+25%) and surged over the decade (+60%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 2% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~25% by 2030 as the economy expands. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
