Analysis
Turkey recorded 503.51 million tonnes for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 160 years on record.
That represents a change of up 4.7% on the previous year and up 41.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Turkey peaked at 503.51 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 7.40 million tonnes, in 1897.
That places Turkey 14th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
