Analysis
In 2024, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Venezuela stood at 116.04 million tonnes.
The figure is down 3.0% on the previous year and down 34.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Venezuela peaked at 198.45 million tonnes in 2013 and was at its lowest, 505 tonnes, in 1872.
That places Venezuela 39th 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.
