Analysis
In 2024, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Dominican Republic stood at 38.83 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 3.7% on the previous year and up 51.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Dominican Republic peaked at 38.83 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 111,040 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Dominican Republic 77th out of 198 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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.
