Analysis

In 2024, carbon intensity of gdp in Albania stood at 0.2726 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP. That is the lowest value across all 45 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.4% on the previous year and down 40.1% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon intensity of gdp in Albania peaked at 1.65 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in 1980 and was at its lowest, 0.2726 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP, in 2024.

That places Albania 106th out of 199 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.
