Analysis
Oman recorded 1.67 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions by world region in 2024. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.2% on the previous year and up 77.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions by world region in Oman peaked at 1.67 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 10,992 tonnes, in 1964.
That places Oman 74th 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.
