Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Panama stood at 40.9%. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is up 2.2% on the previous year and up 35.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Panama peaked at 40.9% in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.6%, in 1991.
That places Panama 95th 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
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 emissions of methane (CH4), 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.
