Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF in Laos, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Laos recorded 26.06 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 1.2% on the previous year and up 494.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Laos peaked at 26.06 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.1513 Mt CO2e, in 1984.
That places Laos 79th 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.

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).
