Analysis
Syria recorded 23.58 million tonnes for co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.5% on the previous year and down 3.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in Syria peaked at 52.97 million tonnes in 2008 and was at its lowest, 340,752 tonnes, in 1951.
That places Syria 55th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
