Belarus carbon profile

Belarus emits roughly 56 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.15% of global emissions, ranking #53 worldwide. At 6.2 tonnes per person (#33 per capita), its footprint is above the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have declined steadily over the past five years (-10%) and declined steadily over the decade (-12%). The sustained downward trajectory suggests structural decarbonization rather than a one-off dip.

Renewables supply about 5% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

If the current pace holds, Belarus could cut another ~10% by 2030. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
