Israel carbon profile

Israel emits roughly 53 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.14% of global emissions, ranking #56 worldwide. At 5.6 tonnes per person (#38 per capita), its footprint is above the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have declined steadily over the past five years (-11%) and declined steadily over the decade (-13%). The sustained downward trajectory suggests structural decarbonization rather than a one-off dip.

Renewables supply about 17% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

If the current pace holds, Israel could cut another ~11% by 2030. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
