Analysis

In 2023, consumption-based co₂ emissions in Bangladesh stood at 167.86 million tonnes. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.0% on the previous year and up 161.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, consumption-based co₂ emissions in Bangladesh peaked at 167.86 million tonnes in 2023 and was at its lowest, 14.29 million tonnes, in 1990.

That places Bangladesh 34th out of 120 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
