Analysis
In 2022, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Cook Islands stood at 262.42 tonnes.
That represents a change of up 3.8% on the previous year and up 7.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions in Cook Islands peaked at 380.66 tonnes in 1981 and was at its lowest, 0.3307 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Cook Islands 205th out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
