Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Lithuania is -0.2398 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 35.6% on the previous year and down 1.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Lithuania peaked at 17.84 tonnes per person in 1850 and was at its lowest, -5.78 tonnes per person, in 2002.
That places Lithuania 163rd 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.
