Analysis
The most recent figure for co2 emissions and gdp in Maldives is 12.92 billion, measured in 2025. That is the highest value across all 36 years on record.
The figure is up 6.3% on the previous year and up 60.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co2 emissions and gdp in Maldives peaked at 12.92 billion in 2025 and was at its lowest, 2.01 billion, in 1990.
That places Maldives 157th out of 198 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
