Analysis
Jordan recorded 2.55 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 0.2% on the previous year and down 27.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Jordan peaked at 3.96 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 2005 and was at its lowest, 0.2582 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Jordan 120th 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.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes per person of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
