Analysis
Indonesia recorded 2.87 tonnes per person for per capita co₂ emissions relative to the global average in 2024. That is the highest value across all 136 years on record.
That represents a change of up 5.7% on the previous year and up 48.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita co₂ emissions relative to the global average in Indonesia peaked at 2.87 tonnes per person in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 tonnes per person, in 1889.
That places Indonesia 114th out of 213 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.
