Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Greece is 33.00 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.2% on the previous year and down 45.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Greece peaked at 104.27 million tonnes in 2005 and was at its lowest, 11.27 million tonnes, in 1919.
That places Greece 89th 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.
