Analysis
Ethiopia recorded 231.87 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in 2024.
The figure is down 1.1% on the previous year and up 68.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Ethiopia peaked at 273.26 million tonnes in 2020 and was at its lowest, -84.56 million tonnes, in 1992.
That places Ethiopia 30th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
