Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Burkina Faso stood at 6.48 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 3.4% on the previous year and up 135.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Burkina Faso peaked at 6.49 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.2261 Mt CO2e, in 1972.
That places Burkina Faso 130th out of 204 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).
