Analysis

The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Guyana is 868.01 million tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.

That represents a change of up 0.4% on the previous year and up 3.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Guyana peaked at 868.01 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 2.51 million tonnes, in 1850.

That places Guyana 94th out of 197 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.
