Analysis
The most recent figure for greenhouse gas emissions in Honduras is 34.53 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 2.8% on the previous year and up 24.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Honduras peaked at 72.53 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1959 and was at its lowest, 4.80 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1893.
That places Honduras 115th 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.
