Analysis
Mongolia recorded 2.08 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 75 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.3% on the previous year and up 25.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Mongolia peaked at 2.08 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 10.90 million tonnes, in 1950.
That places Mongolia 100th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
