Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Israel is 62.26 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.9% on the previous year and down 8.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Israel peaked at 83.33 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1975 and was at its lowest, 284,458 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1929.
That places Israel 56th 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.
