Analysis
Turkey recorded 513.03 million tonnes for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 160 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.4% on the previous year and up 39.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Turkey peaked at 513.03 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 124,576 tonnes, in 1879.
Turkey ranks 12th of 215 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
