Analysis

Brunei recorded 106.10 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.8% on the previous year and up 10.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Brunei peaked at 106.10 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 47,925 tonnes, in 1850.

Brunei ranks 143rd of 197 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.
