Analysis
The most recent figure for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Guinea is 9.33 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 2.4% on the previous year and up 31.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Guinea peaked at 9.67 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2017 and was at its lowest, 334,463 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Guinea 130th 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.
