Analysis
Jamaica recorded 2.69 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 3.6% on the previous year and up 59.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Jamaica peaked at 2.69 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.7267 Mt CO2e, in 1980.
That places Jamaica 116th out of 195 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).
