Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Angola is 1.32 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 3.9% on the previous year and down 65.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Angola peaked at 32.48 tonnes per person in 1954 and was at its lowest, -3.95 tonnes per person, in 1918.
That places Angola 42nd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
