Analysis
In 2024, co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in Ukraine stood at 31.48 million tonnes.
The figure is up 1.4% on the previous year and down 10.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions by fuel or industry in Ukraine peaked at 211.05 million tonnes in 1983 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1830.
That places Ukraine 48th out of 215 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.
