Analysis
Bangladesh recorded 3.72 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in 2024. That is the highest value across all 79 years on record.
That represents a change of up 3.4% on the previous year and up 40.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Bangladesh peaked at 3.72 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 20.65 million tonnes, in 1946.
Bangladesh ranks 72nd of 194 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.
