Analysis
Argentina recorded 198.71 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.4% on the previous year and down 7.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Argentina peaked at 217.67 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2015 and was at its lowest, 624,336 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Argentina ranks 34th of 198 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
