Georgia, with a population of 3,720,382 and an urban population of 2,196,476, accounting for 59.04% of the total, emitted a total of 11,009,796 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 2.93 tons, indicating that each individual generates approximately 2.93 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is valuable to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. In the case of Georgia, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.62 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
This figure is higher than that of the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), suggesting that Georgia’s economic activity has a relatively higher carbon footprint.
