Analysis
Belarus recorded 10.07 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.5% on the previous year and up 6.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Belarus peaked at 10.07 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 39.18 million tonnes, in 1850.
That places Belarus 38th 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.
