Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Czechia is 88.49 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 7.7% on the previous year and down 24.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Czechia peaked at 207.22 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1978 and was at its lowest, 4.41 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Czechia 49th 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.
