Analysis
Nigeria recorded 350.56 Mt CO2e for total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in 2024.
The figure is up 3.8% on the previous year and up 1.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, total greenhouse gas emissions excluding lulucf in Nigeria peaked at 417.04 Mt CO2e in 1996 and was at its lowest, 172.37 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Nigeria 26th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
