Analysis
Turkey recorded 609.95 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 5.1% on the previous year and up 39.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Turkey peaked at 609.95 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.84 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Turkey 12th out of 198 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
