Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Russia stood at 2.66 tonnes per person.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.4% on the previous year and up 202.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Russia peaked at 20.31 tonnes per person in 1909 and was at its lowest, -1.05 tonnes per person, in 1949.
Russia ranks 21st of 194 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
