Analysis
The most recent figure for methane emissions in Fiji is 761,601 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 4.7% on the previous year and up 4.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Fiji peaked at 1.10 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2013 and was at its lowest, 116,583 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Fiji ranks 161st 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.
