Analysis
In 2024, year-on-year change in co₂ emissions in Tajikistan stood at 475,483 tonnes.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 285.3% on the previous year and down 72.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, year-on-year change in co₂ emissions in Tajikistan peaked at 1.70 million tonnes in 2014 and was at its lowest, -2.81 million tonnes, in 1994.
That places Tajikistan 52nd out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
