Analysis
Sudan recorded 0.5285 tonnes per person for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, per capita in 2024.
The figure is up 0.2% on the previous year and down 64.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change, per capita in Sudan peaked at 5.16 tonnes per person in 1960 and was at its lowest, 0.3306 tonnes per person, in 1999.
That places Sudan 179th out of 192 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Annual CO₂ emissions including land-use change divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Annual CO₂ emissions including land-use change ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Annual co2 including land use Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
