Analysis
Togo recorded 4.79 million tonnes for annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 6.7% on the previous year and down 13.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions including land-use change in Togo peaked at 69.25 million tonnes in 1950 and was at its lowest, 549,637 tonnes, in 1976.
That places Togo 154th out of 194 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.
