Analysis
Cyprus recorded 7.30 million tonnes for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.5% on the previous year and up 5.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Cyprus peaked at 8.69 million tonnes in 2008 and was at its lowest, 267,472 tonnes, in 1950.
That places Cyprus 123rd out of 215 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.
