Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Fiji is 1.99 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 3.7% on the previous year and up 21.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Fiji peaked at 2.01 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2019 and was at its lowest, 21,005 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Fiji 163rd 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.
