Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Senegal stood at 0.3182 tonnes per person.
That represents a change of up 0.3% on the previous year and down 75.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Senegal peaked at 4.74 tonnes per person in 1967 and was at its lowest, -0.9536 tonnes per person, in 1997.
That places Senegal 74th 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.
