Analysis
Bahrain recorded 62.97 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 13.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Bahrain peaked at 62.97 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 20,105 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Bahrain ranks 79th of 199 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
