Analysis
The most recent figure for greenhouse gas emissions in Haiti is 11.87 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.1% on the previous year and down 31.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Haiti peaked at 30.31 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2009 and was at its lowest, 2.17 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Haiti 142nd out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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.
