Analysis
Pakistan recorded 162.65 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024.
The figure is down 5.0% on the previous year and up 4.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Pakistan peaked at 233.68 million tonnes in 2021 and was at its lowest, 15.97 million tonnes, in 1970.
That places Pakistan 36th 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.
