Israel carbon profile

Israel emits roughly 60 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.16% of global emissions, ranking #49 worldwide. At 6.4 tonnes per person (#35 per capita), its footprint is above the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have edged down over the past five years (-3%) and crept up over the decade (+2%). The recent decline marks a turnaround after a decade of growth.

Renewables supply about 10% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

Emissions are likely to stay near current levels through 2030 absent major policy change. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
