Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Thailand is 309.16 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 0.6% on the previous year and down 4.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Thailand peaked at 332.08 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2018 and was at its lowest, 1.36 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Thailand 24th 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.
