Analysis
Serbia recorded 2.92 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 129 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.5% on the previous year and up 17.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions in Serbia peaked at 2.92 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 13,049 tonnes, in 1885.
