• Russia: carbon dioxide emissions 2000-2018

Premium

Between 2000 and 2018, Russia experienced little change in its annual carbon dioxide emissions. In 2017, emissions amounted to 1.6 billion metric tons of CO2, an increase on the previous year. However, Russia’s territorial carbon dioxide emissions per capita fell 32.53 percent between 1990 and 2017.

Greenhouse gas

In 2017, Russia accounted for approximately 4.6 percent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, behind China, the United States and India. The previous year Russia’s greenhouse gas emissions amounted to approximately 18,360 kilograms per capita.

Air pollution concerns

In a 2019 survey conducted with Russians, 38 percent felt that air pollution was one of the three most important environmental issues facing Russia. Although the number of deaths attributable to air pollution in Russia has declined greatly since 2005, there was still an estimated 99,400 deaths recorded in 2017.

Supplementary notes

* According to the source, carbon emissions in this statistic reflect only those through consumption of oil, gas and coal, and are based on standard global average conversion factors. This does not allow for any carbon that is sequestered, for other sources of carbon emissions, or for emissions of other greenhouse gases.
Data prior to 2007 was taken from the BP Statistical Review data worksheet.
