Analysis
Grenada recorded 403,726 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for greenhouse gas emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 4.2% on the previous year and up 67.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Grenada peaked at 403,726 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 27,260 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1919.
Grenada ranks 182nd of 199 countries on this measure, 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.
