Analysis
Haiti recorded -4.24 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of down 21.6% on the previous year and down 163.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Haiti peaked at 26.55 million tonnes in 2009 and was at its lowest, -4.54 million tonnes, in 2018.
Haiti ranks 176th of 197 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
