Analysis
Kyrgyzstan recorded 5.67 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from coal in 2024.
That represents a change of up 13.4% on the previous year and up 25.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from coal in Kyrgyzstan peaked at 10.09 million tonnes in 1986 and was at its lowest, 83 tonnes, in 1832.
Kyrgyzstan ranks 58th of 179 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
