Analysis
Montenegro recorded 2.38 million tonnes for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.3% on the previous year and up 12.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Montenegro peaked at 2.61 million tonnes in 2008 and was at its lowest, 502 tonnes, in 1885.
That places Montenegro 153rd 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.
