Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions by world region, gaps filled in Romania stood at 8.86 billion tonnes. That is the highest value across all 167 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.8% on the previous year and up 9.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions by world region, gaps filled in Romania peaked at 8.86 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 3,664 tonnes, in 1858.
That places Romania 29th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
