Analysis
The most recent figure for africa's development dynamics (afdd) table 25 - ghg emissions by in Congo is 102.3 Kilotonnes of CO2-equivalent, measured in 2020.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 8.0% on the previous year and up 227.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, africa's development dynamics (afdd) table 25 - ghg emissions by in Congo peaked at 123.5 Kilotonnes of CO2-equivalent in 2012 and was at its lowest, 3.1 Kilotonnes of CO2-equivalent, in 2000.
That places Congo 134th out of 166 countries with data for 2020, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
