Analysis
Least developed countries recorded 10.32 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.8% on the previous year and down 38.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Least developed countries peaked at 18.48 Mt CO2e in 1999 and was at its lowest, 6.64 Mt CO2e, in 1976.
That places Least developed countries 35th out of 191 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
