Analysis
The most recent figure for other — emissions in Africa is 100.84 kt, measured in 2023.
That represents a change of down 7.0% on the previous year and down 2.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, other — emissions in Africa peaked at 110.29 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 14.84 kt, in 1961.
That places Africa 6th out of 32 groups with data for 2023, putting it in the top 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 Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
