Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Bahrain is 62.93 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 13.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Bahrain peaked at 62.93 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 17,308 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Bahrain 55th out of 198 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.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
