Analysis
In 2024, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Kazakhstan stood at 323.81 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.4% on the previous year and down 4.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Kazakhstan peaked at 366.77 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2018 and was at its lowest, 747,304 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1851.
That places Kazakhstan 21st 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.
