Myanmar carbon profile

Myanmar emits roughly 40 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.11% of global emissions, ranking #61 worldwide. At 0.8 tonnes per person (#97 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have risen noticeably over the past five years (+15%) and surged over the decade (+35%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 50% of electricity. The energy transition is well underway, but fossil generation still sets the emissions baseline.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~15% by 2030 as the economy expands. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
