Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Tajikistan is 10.74 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 4.6% on the previous year and up 133.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Tajikistan peaked at 12.97 million tonnes in 1988 and was at its lowest, 371 tonnes, in 1850.
That places Tajikistan 109th 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.
