Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in Belize is 136.6%, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is up 5.9% on the previous year and up 99.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in Belize peaked at 136.6% in 2024 and was at its lowest, -8.2%, in 1996.
That places Belize 71st 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 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 Change Land Use 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) to combine different GHGs. Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
