Analysis
Mali recorded 1.28 tonnes per person for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in 2024.
That represents a change of down 4.4% on the previous year and down 29.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Mali peaked at 11.88 tonnes per person in 1995 and was at its lowest, 0.1035 tonnes per person, in 1869.
Mali ranks 43rd of 194 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
