Analysis
Paraguay recorded 10.90 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.1% on the previous year and up 35.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Paraguay peaked at 11.37 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2018 and was at its lowest, 105,046 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Paraguay ranks 123rd 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.
