Analysis
Western Africa recorded 0.11 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 57.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, ippu — emissions per capita in Western Africa peaked at 0.11 t CO2eq/cap in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.02 t CO2eq/cap, in 1990.
That places Western Africa 28th out of 34 groups 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 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.
