Analysis
In 2024, carbon intensity of gdp in Bahamas stood at 0.1071 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP.
That represents a change of up 0.1% on the previous year and up 10.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon intensity of gdp in Bahamas peaked at 0.4281 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in 1975 and was at its lowest, 0.0741 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP, in 2003.
That places Bahamas 174th out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
