Analysis
Djibouti recorded 101,383 tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 9.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Djibouti peaked at 149,125 tonnes in 1990 and was at its lowest, 9,563 tonnes, in 1920.
Djibouti ranks 109th of 197 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
