Analysis
Bangladesh recorded 13.17 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 10.9% on the previous year and up 47.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Bangladesh peaked at 13.46 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.2328 Mt CO2e, in 1973.
Bangladesh ranks 59th of 194 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
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
