Analysis
Chile recorded 95.08 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.6% on the previous year and down 1.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Chile peaked at 110.76 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2019 and was at its lowest, 635,052 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1854.
That places Chile 46th out of 198 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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.
