Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Montenegro stood at -3.85 tonnes per person.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.7% on the previous year and up 31.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Montenegro peaked at 9.77 tonnes per person in 1953 and was at its lowest, -5.9 tonnes per person, in 2012.
That places Montenegro 194th 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.
