Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita co₂ emissions including land-use change in Lithuania is 4.15 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 3.4% on the previous year and up 0.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita co₂ emissions including land-use change in Lithuania peaked at 17.84 tonnes per person in 1850 and was at its lowest, -2.1 tonnes per person, in 2002.
That places Lithuania 82nd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
