Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Ukraine is 190.09 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 0.4% on the previous year and down 41.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Ukraine peaked at 825.16 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1985 and was at its lowest, 6.05 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Ukraine 35th 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.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
