Analysis

The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Uganda is 0.675 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of up 1.8% on the previous year and up 86.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from building (energy) in Uganda peaked at 0.675 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Uganda 111th out of 193 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.

A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
