Saint Kitts and Nevis, a small island nation with a population of 52,823 and an urban population of 16,269, accounting for approximately 30.8% of the total, has produced 237,794 tons of CO2 in 2022.
This translates to a per capita CO2 emissions of 4.995 tons, indicating that each individual generates nearly 5 tons of CO2 annually.
To assess the impact of the country’s economic activity on CO2 emissions, it is crucial to examine the Carbon Intensity of GDP. For Saint Kitts and Nevis, this measure stands at 0.23 kg of CO2 per International dollar ($USD) of economic output produced.
Comparatively, this figure is lower than that of the United States (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), suggesting a relatively lower carbon intensity in relation to economic productivity.
