Analysis
The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Italy is 26.14 billion tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 165 years on record.
The figure is up 1.1% on the previous year and up 13.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Italy peaked at 26.14 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 23.17 million tonnes, in 1860.
That places Italy 17th 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.
