Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Armenia is 2.87 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.0% on the previous year and up 26.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Armenia peaked at 3.2 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1988 and was at its lowest, 0.1154 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1857.
That places Armenia 115th out of 198 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.
