Analysis
The most recent figure for greenhouse gas emissions in Armenia is 10.31 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.9% on the previous year and up 12.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Armenia peaked at 12.04 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1989 and was at its lowest, 877,353 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1925.
That places Armenia 145th out of 199 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.
