Analysis
The most recent figure for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Hungary is 40.02 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 0.8% on the previous year and down 8.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Hungary peaked at 90.66 million tonnes in 1984 and was at its lowest, 51,296 tonnes, in 1835.
That places Hungary 61st out of 215 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.
