Analysis
Uruguay recorded 8.51 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in 2024.
The figure is up 1.6% on the previous year and down 54.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Uruguay peaked at 39.64 million tonnes in 2008 and was at its lowest, -3.03 million tonnes, in 1969.
That places Uruguay 133rd 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.
