Analysis
Montenegro recorded 4.37 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024.
That represents a change of down 2.3% on the previous year and up 10.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Montenegro peaked at 4.82 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.0264 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1914.
That places Montenegro 82nd 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.
