Analysis
The most recent figure for greenhouse gas emissions in Togo is 12.76 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 6.5% on the previous year and up 52.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, greenhouse gas emissions in Togo peaked at 44.32 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1949 and was at its lowest, 511,955 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1859.
Togo ranks 139th of 199 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.
