Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Tajikistan stood at 70,019 tonnes.
That represents a change of down 30.2% on the previous year and down 97.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Tajikistan peaked at 5.36 million tonnes in 1959 and was at its lowest, -1.25 million tonnes, in 1997.
That places Tajikistan 112th 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.
