Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Czechia is 75.62 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 9.1% on the previous year and down 27.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Czechia peaked at 187.48 million tonnes in 1978 and was at its lowest, 202,377 tonnes, in 1860.
That places Czechia 47th 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.
