Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Poland is 272.86 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.7% on the previous year and down 11.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Poland peaked at 463.74 million tonnes in 1987 and was at its lowest, 2.73 million tonnes, in 1919.
That places Poland 22nd out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
