Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Romania is 47.18 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.3% on the previous year and down 37.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Romania peaked at 226.13 million tonnes in 1987 and was at its lowest, 14.37 million tonnes, in 1917.
That places Romania 69th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
