Analysis
Mali recorded 65.66 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in 2024.
That represents a change of up 2.5% on the previous year and up 27.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual greenhouse gas emissions by world region in Mali peaked at 84.70 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1995 and was at its lowest, 3.45 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1866.
That places Mali 74th 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.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
