Analysis
Luxembourg recorded 0.1014 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP for carbon intensity of gdp in 2024.
That represents a change of up 2.6% on the previous year and down 39.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon intensity of gdp in Luxembourg peaked at 1.63 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in 1970 and was at its lowest, 0.0988 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP, in 2023.
That places Luxembourg 177th 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.
