Analysis
The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Malaysia is 20.00 billion tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 135 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.8% on the previous year and up 21.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Malaysia peaked at 20.00 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 38.96 million tonnes, in 1890.
That places Malaysia 24th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Cumulative CO₂ emissions including land-use change with 79 missing years estimated by linear interpolation between the nearest real observations. Only gaps of 4 years or fewer are filled, and never beyond the first or last actual measurement — these are filled holes, not forecasts.
Computed from
- Cumulative CO₂ emissions including land-use change 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.
