Analysis
Cambodia recorded 65.30 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024.
The figure is up 2.3% on the previous year and up 25.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Cambodia peaked at 161.25 million tonnes in 1987 and was at its lowest, -5.17 million tonnes, in 1970.
That places Cambodia 57th 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.
