Analysis
Nigeria recorded 0.13 t CO2eq/cap for ippu — emissions per capita in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of up 8.3% on the previous year and up 62.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, ippu — emissions per capita in Nigeria peaked at 0.13 t CO2eq/cap in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.02 t CO2eq/cap, in 1993.
That places Nigeria 130th out of 208 countries with data for 2023, 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
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions indicators disseminates indicators on sectoral shares of total national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as three indicators of emissions intensity: per capita emissions; emissions per value of agricultural production; and emissions per area of agricultural land.
