Analysis
Serbia recorded 3.37 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 129 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.8% on the previous year and up 7.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Serbia peaked at 3.37 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 16.26 million tonnes, in 1885.
Serbia ranks 77th of 194 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
