Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Croatia stood at 946.26 million tonnes.
The figure is down 0.3% on the previous year and down 2.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Croatia peaked at 1.10 billion tonnes in 1998 and was at its lowest, 3.19 million tonnes, in 1850.
Croatia ranks 91st 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.
