Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in Tonga is 1.63 t CO2e/capita, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 5.4% on the previous year and up 31.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in Tonga peaked at 1.96 t CO2e/capita in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.22 t CO2e/capita, in 1971.
That places Tonga 123rd out of 203 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
Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
