Analysis
The most recent figure for methane emissions in Cote d'Ivoire is 12.99 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 1.4% on the previous year and up 10.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane emissions in Cote d'Ivoire peaked at 13.12 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2016 and was at its lowest, 273,776 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Cote d'Ivoire 88th 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.
