Analysis
Estonia recorded -207,749 tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 45.6% on the previous year and up 65.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Estonia peaked at 14.58 million tonnes in 1859 and was at its lowest, -9.24 million tonnes, in 2001.
That places Estonia 153rd out of 197 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.
