Analysis
Belarus recorded 5.12 billion tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.1% on the previous year and up 0.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Belarus peaked at 5.13 billion tonnes in 2019 and was at its lowest, 39.18 million tonnes, in 1850.
That places Belarus 33rd out of 197 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.
