Analysis
Philippines recorded 207.08 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 7.2% on the previous year and up 69.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Philippines peaked at 207.08 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 890,202 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Philippines ranks 33rd of 198 countries on this measure, 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.
