Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita co₂ emissions including land-use change in Myanmar is 1.94 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.9% on the previous year and down 27.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita co₂ emissions including land-use change in Myanmar peaked at 24.4 tonnes per person in 1969 and was at its lowest, -0.1707 tonnes per person, in 1949.
That places Myanmar 134th 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.
