Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon intensity of gdp in Chad is 0.0586 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 5.2% on the previous year and up 67.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon intensity of gdp in Chad peaked at 0.0634 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.0124 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP, in 1998.
That places Chad 170th out of 191 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
