Analysis
Sierra Leone recorded 1,300 kt for energy — emissions in 2023.
That represents a change of down 3.0% on the previous year and up 23.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions in Sierra Leone peaked at 1,340 kt in 2021 and was at its lowest, 189 kt, in 1999.
That places Sierra Leone 155th out of 197 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
