Analysis
In 2024, annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Liechtenstein stood at 147,006 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
That represents a change of up 0.7% on the previous year and down 14.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Liechtenstein peaked at 252,415 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1998 and was at its lowest, 5,192 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1939.
That places Liechtenstein 193rd out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
