Analysis
In 2024, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Azerbaijan stood at 42.48 million tonnes.
The figure is down 6.6% on the previous year and up 13.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Azerbaijan peaked at 57.50 million tonnes in 1992 and was at its lowest, 3.88 million tonnes, in 1855.
That places Azerbaijan 75th out of 194 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.
