Analysis
Bolivia recorded 110.94 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of up 5.0% on the previous year and up 60.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Bolivia peaked at 264.55 million tonnes in 2003 and was at its lowest, -14.93 million tonnes, in 1879.
That places Bolivia 12th out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
