Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Panama is 0.4441 tonnes per person, measured in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 7.8% on the previous year and down 64.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Panama peaked at 50.25 tonnes per person in 1959 and was at its lowest, 0.4441 tonnes per person, in 2024.
That places Panama 62nd 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.
