Analysis
In 2024, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Djibouti stood at 1.32 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
The figure is up 1.6% on the previous year and up 28.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Djibouti peaked at 1.32 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 4,807 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Djibouti 167th out of 198 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
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.
