Analysis
Syria recorded 2.06 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 94 years on record.
The figure is up 1.6% on the previous year and up 18.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions in Syria peaked at 2.06 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 3,634 tonnes, in 1931.
That places Syria 67th 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.
