Analysis
The most recent figure for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Myanmar is 105.88 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.2% on the previous year and down 22.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Myanmar peaked at 648.72 million tonnes in 1969 and was at its lowest, -2.98 million tonnes, in 1949.
That places Myanmar 46th out of 194 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.
