Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Guinea is 3.38 tonnes per person, measured in 2024.
The figure is down 5.3% on the previous year and down 54.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Guinea peaked at 74.64 tonnes per person in 1859 and was at its lowest, 1.89 tonnes per person, in 1998.
That places Guinea 12th out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
