Analysis
Albania recorded 548.29 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 92 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.7% on the previous year and up 10.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Albania peaked at 548.29 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.95 million tonnes, in 1933.
That places Albania 142nd out of 194 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.
