Analysis
Canada recorded 76.04 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.9% on the previous year and up 9.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Canada peaked at 76.04 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 70.27 million tonnes, in 1850.
That places Canada 9th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
