Analysis
Guinea recorded 2.50 million tonnes for co₂ emissions from transport in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 133.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, co₂ emissions from transport in Guinea peaked at 2.50 million tonnes in 2023 and was at its lowest, 270,000 tonnes, in 1990.
That places Guinea 117th out of 191 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
