Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Kazakhstan is 279.20 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 0.4% on the previous year and down 5.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Kazakhstan peaked at 326.96 million tonnes in 1959 and was at its lowest, -19.09 million tonnes, in 1939.
Kazakhstan ranks 24th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
