Analysis

Mexico recorded 423.75 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024.

The figure is up 0.1% on the previous year and down 18.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Mexico peaked at 607.47 million tonnes in 1990 and was at its lowest, 19.63 million tonnes, in 1860.

That places Mexico 18th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
