Analysis
Philippines recorded 174.88 million tonnes for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in 2024. That is the highest value across all 115 years on record.
That represents a change of up 8.6% on the previous year and up 74.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Philippines peaked at 174.88 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 3,664 tonnes, in 1912.
Philippines ranks 32nd 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.
