Analysis
Senegal recorded 14.09 million tonnes for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.1% on the previous year and up 61.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change in Senegal peaked at 14.13 million tonnes in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1949.
That places Senegal 98th 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.
