Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Chile is 0.4853 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 26.4% on the previous year and down 76.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Chile peaked at 9.84 tonnes per person in 1916 and was at its lowest, -0.1382 tonnes per person, in 1991.
That places Chile 59th 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.
