Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF in Cameroon, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
Cameroon recorded 10.29 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.4% on the previous year and up 16.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Cameroon peaked at 10.55 Mt CO2e in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.9288 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Cameroon 109th 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
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
