Analysis
Cyprus recorded 360,982 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for greenhouse gas emissions by gas in 2024.
The figure is down 0.7% on the previous year and up 12.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions by gas in Cyprus peaked at 388,275 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2003 and was at its lowest, 15,948 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Cyprus 153rd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
