Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Maldives is 1.88 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 4.9% on the previous year and down 14.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Maldives peaked at 2.19 Mt CO2e in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0.0099 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Maldives 151st out of 203 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.

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).
