Analysis
In 2024, annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Equatorial Guinea stood at 11.69 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.0% on the previous year and down 29.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Equatorial Guinea peaked at 18.61 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2007 and was at its lowest, -4.27 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1939.
That places Equatorial Guinea 143rd out of 199 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
