Analysis
Honduras recorded 13.22 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of up 1.8% on the previous year and up 48.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Honduras peaked at 75.28 million tonnes in 1959 and was at its lowest, 1.17 million tonnes, in 1999.
That places Honduras 47th out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
