Analysis
In 2023, co₂ emissions by sector in Georgia stood at 3.18 million tonnes.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 123.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions by sector in Georgia peaked at 4.75 million tonnes in 1990 and was at its lowest, 470,000 tonnes, in 2002.
That places Georgia 62nd out of 187 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
