Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Russia is 1.78 billion tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.7% on the previous year and up 8.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Russia peaked at 2.54 billion tonnes in 1990 and was at its lowest, 69,467 tonnes, in 1850.
Russia ranks 4th of 215 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
