Analysis
In 2024, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Georgia stood at 11.78 million tonnes.
That represents a change of down 1.2% on the previous year and up 30.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Georgia peaked at 15.13 million tonnes in 1988 and was at its lowest, 54 tonnes, in 1832.
That places Georgia 106th 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.
