Switzerland produced 32.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) from energy use in 2023, the second-lowest level since 1970. The lowest volume of CO₂ generated in Switzerland between 1970 and 2023 was observed in 2020, when COVID-19-related restrictions caused emissions to plummet 15 percent y-o-y.

According to the source, the 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.
