Analysis
Croatia recorded -0.6759 tonnes per person for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.7% on the previous year and down 595.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Croatia peaked at 6.33 tonnes per person in 1991 and was at its lowest, -3.19 tonnes per person, in 2001.
That places Croatia 178th 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.
