Analysis

Congo recorded 1.34 t CO2e/capita for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in 2024.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.9% on the previous year and up 25.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions excluding lulucf per capita in Congo peaked at 8.14 t CO2e/capita in 1974 and was at its lowest, 0.7766 t CO2e/capita, in 1979.

That places Congo 130th out of 203 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

Indicator: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita (t CO2e/capita)
Unit: t CO2e/capita

Last refreshed: 06 August 2026

Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
