Analysis
In 2024, carbon intensity of gdp in Somalia stood at 0.0974 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is down 2.2% on the previous year and down 29.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon intensity of gdp in Somalia peaked at 0.6679 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in 1986 and was at its lowest, 0.0974 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP, in 2024.
That places Somalia 179th out of 199 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.
