Analysis
In 2024, year-on-year change in co₂ emissions in Uzbekistan stood at 16.36 million tonnes. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.
That represents a change of up 334.4% on the previous year and up 434.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, year-on-year change in co₂ emissions in Uzbekistan peaked at 16.36 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, -19.16 million tonnes, in 2009.
That places Uzbekistan 7th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
