Analysis
Senegal recorded 19.98 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in 2024.
The figure is up 0.8% on the previous year and down 26.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, gaps filled in Senegal peaked at 46.18 million tonnes in 2007 and was at its lowest, -5.67 million tonnes, in 1997.
That places Senegal 110th out of 194 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.
