Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Nepal is 15.89 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.0% on the previous year and up 116.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Nepal peaked at 17.38 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.3337 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Nepal ranks 94th of 203 countries on this measure, 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
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
