Analysis

In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Uruguay stood at 1.03 billion tonnes. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.

The figure is up 0.8% on the previous year and up 9.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions including land-use change in Uruguay peaked at 1.03 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 2.49 million tonnes, in 1856.

That places Uruguay 125th 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.
