Cumulative CO₂ emissions, annual growth rate in Antarctica, 1988–2024
Source: Statizoid (derived). Measured in % change on previous year.
Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions, annual growth rate in Antarctica stood at 0 % change on previous year. That is the lowest value across all 37 years on record.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions, annual growth rate in Antarctica peaked at 200 % change on previous year in 1988 and was at its lowest, 0 % change on previous year, in 2008.
That places Antarctica 214th out of 215 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.

How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Cumulative CO₂ emissions. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Cumulative CO₂ emissions Global Carbon Budget (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
