Analysis
Indonesia recorded 86.94 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 136 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.6% on the previous year and up 20.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Indonesia peaked at 86.94 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 207.85 million tonnes, in 1889.
Indonesia ranks 7th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
