Analysis
Argentina recorded 144.41 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.6% on the previous year and down 18.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Argentina peaked at 337.58 million tonnes in 2009 and was at its lowest, -8.39 million tonnes, in 1949.
Argentina ranks 7th of 197 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
