Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in French Polynesia is 3.46 t CO2e/capita, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.7% on the previous year and down 2.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in French Polynesia peaked at 4.72 t CO2e/capita in 1987 and was at its lowest, 1.2 t CO2e/capita, in 1971.
That places French Polynesia 86th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
