Analysis
Mongolia recorded 0.1448 tonnes per person for year-on-year change in co₂ emissions, per capita in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 86.5% on the previous year and up 103.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, year-on-year change in co₂ emissions, per capita in Mongolia peaked at 4.8 tonnes per person in 2012 and was at its lowest, -4.67 tonnes per person, in 2014.
That places Mongolia 37th out of 204 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.

How this figure is calculated
Year-on-year change in CO₂ emissions divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Year-on-year change in CO₂ emissions ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Absolute change co2 Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
