Analysis
In 2024, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Norway stood at 37.18 million tonnes.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 4.3% on the previous year and down 17.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Norway peaked at 45.66 million tonnes in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Norway 65th 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.
