Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Georgia is 5.14 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 5.2% on the previous year and up 1,397.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Georgia peaked at 13.86 million tonnes in 1939 and was at its lowest, -24.08 million tonnes, in 1959.
That places Georgia 152nd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
