Analysis

Guinea-Bissau recorded 314.21 million tonnes for cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.6% on the previous year and up 13.0% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Guinea-Bissau peaked at 314.21 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.56 million tonnes, in 1850.

Guinea-Bissau ranks 124th of 197 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
