Analysis
Czechia recorded -7.61 million tonnes for year-on-year change in co₂ emissions in 2024.
The figure is up 35.6% on the previous year and down 207.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, year-on-year change in co₂ emissions in Czechia peaked at 19.73 million tonnes in 1970 and was at its lowest, -30.94 million tonnes, in 1945.
That places Czechia 208th out of 215 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.
