Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Estonia is -0.1527 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 45.3% on the previous year and up 66.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Estonia peaked at 29.59 tonnes per person in 1850 and was at its lowest, -7.31 tonnes per person, in 1959.
That places Estonia 156th 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.
