Analysis
The most recent figure for global sulphur dioxide (so₂) emissions by world region in Djibouti is 4,317 tonnes, measured in 2022.
The figure is up 21.3% on the previous year and up 62.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, global sulphur dioxide (so₂) emissions by world region in Djibouti peaked at 21,174 tonnes in 1976 and was at its lowest, 1.12 tonnes, in 1920.
That places Djibouti 167th out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
