Bolivia carbon profile

Bolivia emits roughly 29 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.08% of global emissions, ranking #75 worldwide. At 2.3 tonnes per person (#78 per capita), its footprint is below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have surged over the past five years (+27%) and surged over the decade (+44%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 36% of electricity. The energy transition is well underway, but fossil generation still sets the emissions baseline.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~27% by 2030 as the economy expands. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
