Analysis
Jordan recorded 84.69 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.6% on the previous year and up 11.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Jordan peaked at 84.69 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 12,055 tonnes, in 1850.
That places Jordan 146th 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.
