Analysis
The most recent figure for energy — emissions (co2), per capita in Cameroon is 0.0003 kt per person, measured in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.5% on the previous year and down 11.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions (co2), per capita in Cameroon peaked at 0.0009 kt per person in 1983 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 kt per person, in 1961.
That places Cameroon 162nd out of 186 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.

How this figure is calculated
Energy — Emissions (CO2) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Energy — Emissions (CO2) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Energy — Emissions Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
