Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Sudan stood at 0.1757 tonnes per person.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.4% on the previous year and down 84.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change per capita in Sudan peaked at 5.02 tonnes per person in 1960 and was at its lowest, 0.0898 tonnes per person, in 2019.
That places Sudan 88th 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.
