Cuba carbon profile

Cuba emits roughly 25 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.07% of global emissions, ranking #75 worldwide. At 2.3 tonnes per person (#76 per capita), its footprint is below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have declined steadily over the past five years (-15%) and fallen sharply over the decade (-20%). 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, Cuba could cut another ~15% by 2030. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
