Analysis
Montenegro recorded 159,179 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for greenhouse gas emissions by gas in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.7% on the previous year and down 8.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions by gas in Montenegro peaked at 306,042 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1977 and was at its lowest, 12,856 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Montenegro 165th 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.
