Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Djibouti stood at 7.59 million tonnes. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
The figure is up 1.4% on the previous year and up 14.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Djibouti peaked at 7.59 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 20,408 tonnes, in 1850.
That places Djibouti 157th out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
