Analysis
The most recent figure for global sulphur dioxide (so₂) emissions by world region in East Timor is 1,038 tonnes, measured in 2022.
The figure is up 2.8% on the previous year and up 2.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, global sulphur dioxide (so₂) emissions by world region in East Timor peaked at 1,260 tonnes in 2004 and was at its lowest, 10.04 tonnes, in 1750.
That places East Timor 188th 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.
