Analysis
Guyana recorded 0.138 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP for carbon intensity of gdp in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of down 29.6% on the previous year and down 71.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon intensity of gdp in Guyana peaked at 0.7954 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in 1973 and was at its lowest, 0.138 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP, in 2024.
That places Guyana 165th out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.
