Analysis
Morocco recorded 101.85 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for greenhouse gas emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.1% on the previous year and up 15.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Morocco peaked at 113.19 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2019 and was at its lowest, 3.64 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Morocco ranks 57th of 199 countries on this measure, 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.
