Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Netherlands is 0.282 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 1.3% on the previous year and down 24.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Netherlands peaked at 2.53 tonnes per person in 1890 and was at its lowest, 0.0269 tonnes per person, in 1970.
That places Netherlands 76th 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.
