Analysis

Afghanistan recorded 2,858 Kilotonnes of CO2-equivalent for africa's development dynamics (afdd) table 25 - ghg emissions by in 2020.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 26.8% on the previous year and up 19.6% over ten years.

Over the whole period, africa's development dynamics (afdd) table 25 - ghg emissions by in Afghanistan peaked at 4,175 Kilotonnes of CO2-equivalent in 2011 and was at its lowest, 229.2 Kilotonnes of CO2-equivalent, in 2001.

That places Afghanistan 67th out of 166 countries with data for 2020, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
