Analysis
Sweden recorded 5.13 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions, gaps filled in 2024. That is the highest value across all 187 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.7% on the previous year and up 8.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions, gaps filled in Sweden peaked at 5.13 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 32,976 tonnes, in 1834.
Sweden ranks 44th of 215 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
