CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, annual growth in Antarctica, 1988–2008
Source: Statizoid (derived). Measured in % change on previous year.
Analysis
In 2008, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, annual growth in Antarctica stood at -100 % change on previous year. That is the lowest value across all 21 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 300.0% on the previous year.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, annual growth in Antarctica peaked at 100 % change on previous year in 1988 and was at its lowest, -100 % change on previous year, in 2008.
That places Antarctica 215th out of 215 countries with data for 2008, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change Global Carbon Budget (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
