Moldova carbon profile

Moldova emits roughly 5.3 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.01% of global emissions, ranking #110 worldwide. At 1.8 tonnes per person (#86 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have edged down over the past five years (-1%) and risen noticeably over the decade (+12%). The recent decline marks a turnaround after a decade of growth.

Renewables supply about 11% 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.
