Kiribati, a small island nation with a population of 117,606 and an urban population of 64,489, accounting for approximately 54.83% of the total, has produced a total of 71,533 tons of CO2 in 2022.
This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 0.56 tons, indicating that each individual generates around 0.56 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of Kiribati’s economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is essential to consider the Carbon Intensity of GDP. This metric measures the amount of CO2 emissions in kilograms per International dollar ($USD) of economic output.
Kiribati’s Carbon Intensity of GDP stands at 0.37 kg of CO2 per dollar, which is lower than both the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg).
These figures highlight Kiribati’s relatively low carbon footprint compared to larger nations. However, it is crucial for Kiribati to continue implementing sustainable practices to mitigate the adverse effects of CO2 emissions and ensure a cleaner and healthier environment for its population.
