Analysis
Azerbaijan recorded 4.75 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 5.5% on the previous year and up 6.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Azerbaijan peaked at 8.37 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1986 and was at its lowest, 0.2067 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1857.
Azerbaijan ranks 77th of 198 countries on this measure, 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.
