Analysis
Grenada recorded 3.44 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita greenhouse gas emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 4.1% on the previous year and up 63.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions in Grenada peaked at 3.44 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.3362 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1940.
That places Grenada 132nd 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.
