Analysis
North Macedonia recorded 497.07 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.1% on the previous year and up 1.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in North Macedonia peaked at 498.09 million tonnes in 2021 and was at its lowest, 1.25 million tonnes, in 1850.
That places North Macedonia 108th 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.
