Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions in Turkmenistan stood at 2.74 billion tonnes. That is the highest value across all 173 years on record.
The figure is up 3.0% on the previous year and up 37.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions in Turkmenistan peaked at 2.74 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 155 tonnes, in 1830.
Turkmenistan ranks 59th of 215 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
