Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in North Macedonia is 7.70 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 8.5% on the previous year and down 6.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in North Macedonia peaked at 12.17 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1990 and was at its lowest, 63,459 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places North Macedonia 138th 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.
