Analysis
Mali recorded 6.98 million tonnes for co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in 2024.
That represents a change of up 3.5% on the previous year and up 122.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change, gaps filled in Mali peaked at 7.39 million tonnes in 2021 and was at its lowest, 47,632 tonnes, in 1959.
That places Mali 126th 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.
