Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Ukraine is 148.08 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.2% on the previous year and down 44.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Ukraine peaked at 760.99 million tonnes in 1985 and was at its lowest, 48.33 million tonnes, in 1850.
That places Ukraine 37th 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.
