Total CO2 Emissions in Andorra: primary contributors and correlation with GDP

Andorra, a small country with a population of approximately 77,142 and an urban population of 67,873, accounting for 87.98% of the total, has produced a total of 452,888 tons of CO2 in 2022.

This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 5.73 tons, indicating that each person generates around 5.73 tons of CO2 annually.

To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is useful to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In the case of Andorra, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.14 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output.

This value is lower than that of both the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), suggesting that Andorra’s economic activity has a relatively lower carbon footprint compared to these countries.

Overall, these figures highlight the significant contribution of Andorra’s population to CO2 emissions, with a relatively high per capita emission rate. However, the country’s Carbon Intensity of GDP indicates a more efficient use of resources and lower emissions per unit of economic output compared to larger economies.
