Analysis
The most recent figure for annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Guinea is 49.80 million tonnes, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.0% on the previous year and down 41.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Guinea peaked at 94.58 million tonnes in 2011 and was at its lowest, 8.96 million tonnes, in 1899.
That places Guinea 19th out of 197 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.
