Djibouti on environment & sustainability: questions answered
Every answer is built from the numbers on this page, so none can say something the page does not.
How does Djibouti rank on environment & sustainability?
Djibouti is placed 30th of 186 countries on Environment & Sustainability in the Country Index 2026, from 2 of its 4 key statistics (CO₂ Emissions per Capita and Water Stress). The position is this site’s ordering of published statistics, not a rank any publisher printed.
What is the latest CO₂ Emissions per Capita figure for Djibouti?

Ethiopia is placed 52nd of 186, and Djibouti 30th. CO₂ Emissions per Capita: Ethiopia 0.135, Djibouti 0.483; Water Stress: Ethiopia 32.26, Djibouti 6.33.
How have Djibouti’s environment & sustainability figures changed?
CO₂ Emissions per Capita fell from 0.49 in 2000 to 0.483 in 2024; Water Stress was 6.33 in both 2000 and 2023.
Which environment & sustainability statistics are missing for Djibouti?
No current reading is published for Djibouti on Adjusted Net Savings, Agricultural Irrigated Land, Consumption-Based CO₂ Emissions, Ecological Footprint, Environmentally Related Tax Revenue, Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Organic Agricultural Area, Tropical Moist Forest Deforestation, Water-Use Efficiency and World Energy Trilemma Index. They are listed rather than hidden, so the evidence on the page can be checked against it.

Method, sources and how to cite
What this topic does not measure
Air quality and biodiversity are not keys, because the site does not yet hold data for them that passes every test. Forest cover, farmland, farm emissions and the renewable share of electricity are published here as context. Exposure to natural hazards belongs to Risk & Resilience.
How the Environment & Sustainability standing is decided
A standing is this site’s ordering, named with its edition — never a publisher’s rank. 4 key statistics vote, one vote each; every country’s published value becomes a place within that key’s own field, the places are averaged, and the average is never published. A country needs 2 of the 4 keys to be placed.
