Jordan carbon profile

Jordan emits roughly 23 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.06% of global emissions, ranking #78 worldwide. At 2.0 tonnes per person (#81 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have edged down over the past five years (-5%) and crept up over the decade (+5%). The recent decline marks a turnaround after a decade of growth.

Renewables supply about 20% 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.
