Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Iraq is 0.0493 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 5.1% on the previous year and down 84.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Iraq peaked at 3.14 tonnes per person in 1939 and was at its lowest, -0.6885 tonnes per person, in 1996.
That places Iraq 103rd 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.
