Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Azerbaijan is 39.83 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 6.8% on the previous year and up 16.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Azerbaijan peaked at 56.17 million tonnes in 1992 and was at its lowest, 1,513 tonnes, in 1850.
Azerbaijan ranks 62nd 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.
