Analysis

In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Mauritania stood at 5.01 Mt CO2e.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.8% on the previous year and up 86.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Mauritania peaked at 5.03 Mt CO2e in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.3332 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Mauritania 135th 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.

Licence: CC BY 4.0 (World Bank Open Data)
Coverage: 250 places, 13,750 data points, 1970–2024
Last refreshed: 06 August 2026

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).
