Analysis

The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Panama is 2.33 billion tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.

The figure is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 1.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Panama peaked at 2.33 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 3.22 million tonnes, in 1850.

Panama ranks 63rd of 197 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
