Analysis
Kazakhstan recorded 14.94 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 173 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.0% on the previous year and up 24.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions in Kazakhstan peaked at 14.94 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1,216 tonnes, in 1830.
That places Kazakhstan 22nd out of 215 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.
