Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Myanmar stood at 105.88 million tonnes.
The figure is down 1.2% on the previous year and down 22.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Myanmar peaked at 648.72 million tonnes in 1969 and was at its lowest, -2.98 million tonnes, in 1949.
That places Myanmar 46th 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.
