Analysis
Ukraine recorded 5.58 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
The figure is up 0.3% on the previous year and down 22.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Ukraine peaked at 236.96 million tonnes in 1909 and was at its lowest, -8.76 million tonnes, in 1998.
That places Ukraine 68th 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.
