Analysis
Uzbekistan recorded 208.17 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for greenhouse gas emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
The figure is up 9.1% on the previous year and up 24.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Uzbekistan peaked at 208.17 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 7.06 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Uzbekistan 40th out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
