Analysis
Syria recorded 25.39 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.7% on the previous year and down 26.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Syria peaked at 67.68 million tonnes in 2008 and was at its lowest, -2.21 million tonnes, in 1967.
That places Syria 104th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
