Analysis
In 2024, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Belarus stood at 55.82 million tonnes.
That represents a change of up 0.1% on the previous year and down 12.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Belarus peaked at 121.53 million tonnes in 1986 and was at its lowest, 409 tonnes, in 1832.
That places Belarus 54th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
