Analysis
Georgia recorded 5.14 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of up 5.2% on the previous year and up 1,397.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Georgia peaked at 13.86 million tonnes in 1939 and was at its lowest, -24.08 million tonnes, in 1959.
Georgia ranks 152nd of 194 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
