Analysis
Ecuador recorded 74.41 Mt CO2e for total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 1.7% on the previous year and up 3.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in Ecuador peaked at 74.41 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 11.75 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Ecuador 63rd out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
