Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Fiji is -1.16 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 1.6% on the previous year and down 94.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Fiji peaked at 8.7 tonnes per person in 1865 and was at its lowest, -6.56 tonnes per person, in 1864.
That places Fiji 188th 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.
