Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide emissions by income level in Venezuela stood at 116.04 million tonnes.
That represents a change of down 3.0% on the previous year and down 34.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide emissions by income level 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.
