Analysis

Uruguay recorded 566.45 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 3.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Uruguay peaked at 566.45 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 965,061 tonnes, in 1850.

Uruguay ranks 103rd 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.
