Analysis
Bangladesh recorded 108.32 million tonnes for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 79 years on record.
The figure is up 3.6% on the previous year and up 60.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Bangladesh peaked at 108.32 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 117,474 tonnes, in 1946.
That places Bangladesh 41st out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
