Analysis
Mali recorded 11.47 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 7.3% on the previous year and up 97.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions, excluding land use and forestry in Mali peaked at 11.47 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 323,999 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Mali ranks 121st 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.
