Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Oman is 269,084 tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.8% on the previous year and down 25.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Oman peaked at 548,391 tonnes in 2016 and was at its lowest, -373,435 tonnes, in 1959.
That places Oman 101st out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
