Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Angola is 49.27 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.3% on the previous year and down 21.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Angola peaked at 65.92 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2015 and was at its lowest, 530,880 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Angola ranks 62nd of 198 countries on this measure, 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
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
