Analysis
The most recent figure for greenhouse gas emissions in Israel is 64.15 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 3.8% on the previous year and down 8.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Israel peaked at 84.32 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1975 and was at its lowest, 389,907 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1909.
That places Israel 76th 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.
