Analysis

Kazakhstan recorded 18.97 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.5% on the previous year and up 17.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Kazakhstan peaked at 18.97 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 20.75 million tonnes, in 1850.

That places Kazakhstan 27th 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.
