Analysis
Lithuania recorded 12.54 million tonnes for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of up 0.3% on the previous year and down 2.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Lithuania peaked at 40.51 million tonnes in 1985 and was at its lowest, 153 tonnes, in 1832.
That places Lithuania 103rd 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.
