Analysis
Singapore recorded 54.02 million tonnes for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of up 5.6% on the previous year and up 12.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Singapore peaked at 60.57 million tonnes in 1994 and was at its lowest, 369,809 tonnes, in 1966.
That places Singapore 62nd out of 194 regions 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.
