Analysis
In 2024, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Mongolia stood at 67.44 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 6.7% on the previous year and up 58.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Mongolia peaked at 72.28 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2023 and was at its lowest, 209,458 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Mongolia ranks 53rd of 198 countries on this measure, 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.
