Armenia, with a population of 2,957,731 and an urban population of 1,869,848, accounting for 63.22% of the total, has produced 6,806,045 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 2.44 tons, indicating that each person generates approximately 2.44 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 Armenia, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.50 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output, which is lower than both the USA (0.30 kg) and China (0.57 kg).
This indicates that Armenia’s economic activity has a relatively lower carbon footprint compared to these countries.
Overall, Armenia’s CO2 emissions, per capita and in terms of GDP, reflect a conscious effort to minimize environmental impact while maintaining economic growth.
