Analysis
Tokelau recorded 18.57 tonnes for emissions of air pollutants in 2022.
The figure is down 1.3% on the previous year and down 9.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emissions of air pollutants in Tokelau peaked at 86.12 tonnes in 1963 and was at its lowest, 9.07 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Tokelau 216th out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
