Analysis

In 2024, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Mali stood at 2.01 billion tonnes. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.

The figure is up 1.6% on the previous year and up 21.2% over ten years.

Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from land-use change in Mali peaked at 2.01 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.49 million tonnes, in 1850.

Mali ranks 69th 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.
