Analysis
Ukraine recorded 142.50 million tonnes for territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of up 2.3% on the previous year and down 44.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, territorial and consumption-based co₂ emissions in Ukraine peaked at 743.67 million tonnes in 1985 and was at its lowest, 2,843 tonnes, in 1832.
Ukraine ranks 34th 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.
