Analysis
In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Israel stood at 41.25 million tonnes.
The figure is down 0.1% on the previous year and up 24.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Israel peaked at 41.28 million tonnes in 2023 and was at its lowest, -3.78 million tonnes, in 1910.
That places Israel 151st 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.
