Analysis
In 2024, greenhouse gas emissions in Djibouti stood at 2.11 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.1% on the previous year and up 18.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Djibouti peaked at 2.11 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 23,948 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Djibouti 167th out of 199 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.
