Analysis
The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions in Fiji is 54.07 million tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 75 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.7% on the previous year and up 34.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions in Fiji peaked at 54.07 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 120,912 tonnes, in 1950.
That places Fiji 160th 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.
