Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Armenia is 24,292 tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 56.6% on the previous year and down 96.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Armenia peaked at 6.49 million tonnes in 2005 and was at its lowest, -942,857 tonnes, in 1965.
That places Armenia 115th out of 197 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.
