Analysis

The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Ecuador is 47.96 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.5% on the previous year and up 10.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Ecuador peaked at 47.96 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 4.48 Mt CO2e, in 1972.

That places Ecuador 57th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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).
