Armenia
The latest open data on emissions, energy and forests, compared with ten years earlier and with the world average.
In 2024, 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ per person were emitted on average, from fossil fuels and industry. The world average is 4.7.
Compared with 2014, the value has risen by 30%.
61% of electricity comes from renewables and nuclear (2024).
Forests cover 11.6% of the land (2023).
From 2001 to 2025, trees disappeared from 2,268 hectares: 0.7% of the area that was tree-covered in 2000.

Trees and forests
Hectares where trees were cut or burned each year (areas with at least 30% canopy), from 2001 to 2025.
On average, from 2001 to 2025, the country's forests removed 0.9 million tonnes of CO₂ from the air each year and released 0.0 through logging and fires.
