Analysis
Mexico recorded 31.5 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in 2024.
The figure is up 0.8% on the previous year and down 1.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Mexico peaked at 33.13 Mt CO2e in 2012 and was at its lowest, 12.16 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Mexico 19th out of 193 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
