Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Kyrgyzstan is 15.57 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.6% on the previous year and up 18.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Kyrgyzstan peaked at 23.72 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1986 and was at its lowest, 167,258 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Kyrgyzstan 110th 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.
