Analysis
The most recent figure for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Peru is 70.25 million tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 169 years on record.
That represents a change of up 6.3% on the previous year and up 42.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Peru peaked at 70.25 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 33,271 tonnes, in 1859.
Peru ranks 48th of 215 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
