Honduras, with a population of 9,746,117 and an urban population of 5,626,433, accounting for 57.73% of the total, has produced 10,897,812 tons of CO2 in 2022. This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 1.06 tons, indicating that each person generates approximately 1 ton 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 Honduras, the Carbon Intensity of GDP is 0.43 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
This figure is lower than that of China (0.57 kg) but higher than that of the USA (0.3 kg).
These statistics shed light on Honduras’ CO2 emissions, highlighting the need for sustainable practices to mitigate environmental impact and promote a greener future.
