Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Angola is 1.3 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 4.3% on the previous year and down 43.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Angola peaked at 4.19 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1998 and was at its lowest, 0.2035 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1870.
That places Angola 146th out of 198 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.
