Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Albania is -0.1505 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 38.7% on the previous year and down 166.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Albania peaked at 5.13 tonnes per person in 1959 and was at its lowest, -0.2607 tonnes per person, in 2004.
That places Albania 155th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
