Analysis
Haiti recorded 768.55 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.5% on the previous year and down 1.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Haiti peaked at 791.07 million tonnes in 2017 and was at its lowest, 1.73 million tonnes, in 1850.
That places Haiti 97th 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.
