Peru carbon profile

Peru emits roughly 70 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.19% of global emissions, ranking #47 worldwide. At 2.1 tonnes per person (#83 per capita), its footprint is below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have risen noticeably over the past five years (+20%) and surged over the decade (+42%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 64% of electricity. The energy transition is well underway, but fossil generation still sets the emissions baseline.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~20% by 2030 as the economy expands. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
