Analysis
In 2024, greenhouse gas emissions in Czechia stood at 84.45 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
The figure is down 9.2% on the previous year and down 33.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Czechia peaked at 217.09 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1984 and was at its lowest, 16.20 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Czechia ranks 67th of 199 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.

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