Analysis
Cyprus recorded 2.02 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.5% on the previous year and up 15.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Cyprus peaked at 2.24 Mt CO2e in 2010 and was at its lowest, 0.4399 Mt CO2e, in 1975.
That places Cyprus 130th out of 194 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 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).
