Analysis
Georgia recorded 3.26 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita greenhouse gas emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.5% on the previous year and up 38.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions in Georgia peaked at 5.96 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1850 and was at its lowest, -1.9 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1959.
That places Georgia 135th out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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 per person of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
