Analysis

The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Peru is 7.99 billion tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.

That represents a change of up 1.1% on the previous year and up 11.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Peru peaked at 7.99 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 7.38 million tonnes, in 1856.

Peru ranks 40th of 194 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
