Analysis
Djibouti recorded 1.22 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for methane emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.1% on the previous year and up 13.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Djibouti peaked at 1.22 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 28,500 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Djibouti ranks 155th 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.
