Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Hungary is -1.11 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 5.2% on the previous year and down 18.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Hungary peaked at 3 tonnes per person in 1850 and was at its lowest, -1.45 tonnes per person, in 2019.
That places Hungary 184th 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.
