Analysis
Bahrain recorded 39.00 million tonnes for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 92 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.6% on the previous year and up 25.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Bahrain peaked at 39.00 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 11,029 tonnes, in 1933.
That places Bahrain 78th 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.
