Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Equatorial Guinea is 9.74 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.4% on the previous year and down 38.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Equatorial Guinea peaked at 16.58 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2006 and was at its lowest, 43,625 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1913.
That places Equatorial Guinea 128th 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.

About this data
Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale.
