Cambodia carbon profile

Cambodia emits roughly 22 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.06% of global emissions, ranking #80 worldwide. At 1.2 tonnes per person (#91 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have risen noticeably over the past five years (+18%) and surged over the decade (+227%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 41% of electricity. The energy transition is well underway, but fossil generation still sets the emissions baseline.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~18% by 2030 as the economy expands. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
