Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Angola is 50.00 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.0% on the previous year and down 51.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Angola peaked at 164.76 million tonnes in 1960 and was at its lowest, -11.40 million tonnes, in 1910.
Angola ranks 18th of 197 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
