Georgia carbon profile

Georgia emits roughly 12 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.03% of global emissions, ranking #97 worldwide. At 3.1 tonnes per person (#69 per capita), its footprint is below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have risen noticeably over the past five years (+12%) and surged over the decade (+30%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 80% of electricity. The power sector is largely decarbonized, so remaining emissions come mostly from transport, industry and heating.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~12% by 2030 as the economy expands. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
