Myanmar carbon profile

Myanmar emits roughly 32 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.08% of global emissions, ranking #72 worldwide. At 0.6 tonnes per person (#103 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have edged down over the past five years (-6%) and surged over the decade (+99%). The recent decline marks a turnaround after a decade of growth.

Renewables supply about 48% of electricity. The energy transition is well underway, but fossil generation still sets the emissions baseline.

Emissions are likely to stay near current levels through 2030 absent major policy change. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
