Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita in Mauritius, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in t CO2e/capita.
Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in Mauritius is 3.54 t CO2e/capita, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.2% on the previous year and up 11.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in Mauritius peaked at 3.54 t CO2e/capita in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.3653 t CO2e/capita, in 1971.
That places Mauritius 84th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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.
