Analysis
The most recent figure for methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Samoa is -2.9%, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 135.3% on the previous year and down 110.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Samoa peaked at 34.7% in 2015 and was at its lowest, -13.5%, in 2020.
That places Samoa 150th 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
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 emissions of methane (CH4), 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.
