Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Turkmenistan stood at 2.92 billion tonnes. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.8% on the previous year and up 34.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Turkmenistan peaked at 2.92 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 366,557 tonnes, in 1850.
That places Turkmenistan 83rd 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.
