Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Least developed countries stood at 492.0%. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is up 2.8% on the previous year and up 70.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Least developed countries peaked at 492.0% in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.0%, in 1991.
That places Least developed countries 31st out of 202 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.

About this data
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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). Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
