Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions in Azerbaijan stood at 2.64 billion tonnes. That is the highest value across all 173 years on record.
The figure is up 1.5% on the previous year and up 16.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions in Azerbaijan peaked at 2.64 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 244 tonnes, in 1830.
That places Azerbaijan 60th out of 215 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.
