Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Chad stood at 0.3226 tonnes per person.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 11.2% on the previous year and down 81.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Chad peaked at 18.11 tonnes per person in 1859 and was at its lowest, -1.38 tonnes per person, in 1899.
That places Chad 73rd out of 194 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.
