Analysis
Australia recorded 1.97 % change on previous year for cumulative co₂ emissions by world region, annual growth rate in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.3% on the previous year and down 21.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions by world region, annual growth rate in Australia peaked at 280.08 % change on previous year in 1806 and was at its lowest, 1.75 % change on previous year, in 1831.
That places Australia 142nd out of 215 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.

How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Cumulative CO₂ emissions by world region. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Cumulative CO₂ emissions by world region 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.
