Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Cuba is -0.0088 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 88.1% on the previous year and up 99.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Cuba peaked at 26.04 tonnes per person in 1963 and was at its lowest, -1.69 tonnes per person, in 2011.
That places Cuba 133rd 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.
