Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Mongolia stood at 0.4512 tonnes per person.
The figure is down 24.2% on the previous year and down 85.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Mongolia peaked at 45.27 tonnes per person in 1958 and was at its lowest, 0.0569 tonnes per person, in 2018.
That places Mongolia 60th 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.
