Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Indonesia is 4.03 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
The figure is up 3.6% on the previous year and up 44.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Indonesia peaked at 4.03 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.2367 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Indonesia 94th out of 198 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.
