Analysis
Tunisia recorded 4.72 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 4.1% on the previous year and up 29.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Tunisia peaked at 4.72 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.8314 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Tunisia 55th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
