Analysis

Russia recorded 107.70 billion 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 0.4% on the previous year and up 3.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Russia peaked at 107.70 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 552.21 million tonnes, in 1850.

Russia ranks 3rd of 197 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.

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