Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Algeria is 0.0542 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 6.5% on the previous year and down 24.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Algeria peaked at 3.59 tonnes per person in 1960 and was at its lowest, -0.1721 tonnes per person, in 1982.
That places Algeria 101st out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
