Analysis
In 2024, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Uganda stood at 38.19 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.1% on the previous year and up 38.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, methane (ch4) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Uganda peaked at 38.19 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 7.59 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Uganda ranks 46th of 203 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
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 methane (CH4), 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).
