Analysis
Egypt recorded 0.024 tonnes per person for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.5% on the previous year and up 9.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Egypt peaked at 0.2638 tonnes per person in 1965 and was at its lowest, -0.0763 tonnes per person, in 1859.
That places Egypt 107th 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.
