Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Armenia is 7.43 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 32.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Armenia peaked at 9.42 million tonnes in 1989 and was at its lowest, 251 tonnes, in 1850.
Armenia ranks 122nd of 215 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
