Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Benin is 1,668.2%, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of up 2.4% on the previous year and up 31.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Benin peaked at 2,084.1% in 2020 and was at its lowest, -12.1%, in 1991.
That places Benin 10th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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). Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
