Analysis
Gambia recorded 991.21 kt for energy — emissions (co2eq) in 2023.
That represents a change of down 1.9% on the previous year and up 45.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions (co2eq) in Gambia peaked at 1,010 kt in 2022 and was at its lowest, 55.42 kt, in 1961.
That places Gambia 189th out of 231 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.
