Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Iraq is 238.67 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.4% on the previous year and up 72.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Iraq peaked at 238.67 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 23.56 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Iraq 26th out of 203 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.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
