Analysis
In 2024, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Togo stood at 2.04 million tonnes.
That represents a change of up 11.9% on the previous year and down 49.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual co₂ emissions from land-use change in Togo peaked at 97.77 million tonnes in 1949 and was at its lowest, 227,205 tonnes, in 1976.
That places Togo 88th out of 197 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.
