Analysis
Honduras recorded 1.19 tonnes per person for co₂ emissions per capita in 2024. That is the highest value across all 155 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.9% on the previous year and up 13.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions per capita in Honduras peaked at 1.19 tonnes per person in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes per person, in 1870.
That places Honduras 151st out of 213 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
