Analysis
Belize recorded 0.13 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.9% on the previous year and up 77.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from transport (energy) in Belize peaked at 0.1465 Mt CO2e in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.0034 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
Belize ranks 180th of 194 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
