Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Chile stood at 88.32 million tonnes.
The figure is down 2.5% on the previous year and down 23.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Chile peaked at 120.36 million tonnes in 2016 and was at its lowest, 7.36 million tonnes, in 1850.
That places Chile 49th 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.
