Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Tunisia stood at -0.1075 tonnes per person.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 161.8% on the previous year and up 23.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Tunisia peaked at 2.67 tonnes per person in 1969 and was at its lowest, -0.4249 tonnes per person, in 1979.
That places Tunisia 150th 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.
