Analysis
Fiji recorded 364,692 tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024.
The figure is up 26.1% on the previous year and down 42.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Fiji peaked at 3.82 million tonnes in 1990 and was at its lowest, -4,800 tonnes, in 2009.
That places Fiji 175th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
