Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Serbia is -16.41 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.3% on the previous year and up 36.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Serbia peaked at 22.17 million tonnes in 1952 and was at its lowest, -33.11 million tonnes, in 2005.
That places Serbia 191st 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.
