Analysis
The most recent figure for annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Suriname is 5.64 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 0.6% on the previous year and down 22.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Suriname peaked at 8.30 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2013 and was at its lowest, 268,703 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1851.
Suriname ranks 159th of 199 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
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.
