Uzbekistan carbon profile

Uzbekistan emits roughly 139 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.37% of global emissions, ranking #34 worldwide. At 3.8 tonnes per person (#56 per capita), its footprint is below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have surged over the past five years (+29%) and surged over the decade (+30%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 19% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~29% by 2030 as the economy expands. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
