The latest value from 2023 is 11 Mt CO2 eq, unchanged from 11 Mt CO2 eq in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 198 Mt CO2 eq, based on data from 189 countries. Historically, the average for Yemen from 1970 to 2023 is 12 Mt CO2 eq. The minimum value, 2 Mt CO2 eq, was reached in 1970 while the maximum of 29 Mt CO2 eq was recorded in 2013.

Definition: A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measuring unit (Mt CO2 eq) is a measure of all greenhouse gases, converted to CO2-equivalent impact. It is reported in millions of tons. It is widely used in climate science, emissions reporting, and international climate agreements.
