Analysis
Kazakhstan recorded 13.56 tonnes per person for per capita co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.8% on the previous year and down 18.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita co₂ emissions including land-use change in Kazakhstan peaked at 35.84 tonnes per person in 1959 and was at its lowest, -3.23 tonnes per person, in 1939.
That places Kazakhstan 14th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
