Analysis
Guinea recorded 4.03 million tonnes for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in 2024.
That represents a change of up 3.9% on the previous year and up 69.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Guinea peaked at 4.85 million tonnes in 2017 and was at its lowest, 141,694 tonnes, in 1953.
That places Guinea 143rd out of 215 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.
