🇧🇫 Burkina Faso's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Key Messages

• Emissions: Burkina Faso emitted around 60.9 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.11% of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 2.6 tonnes per person per year in 2024, rated moderate on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions rose by roughly 0.73 megatonnes CO₂e a year over the ten years to 2024, rather than the 4% yearly decline the world needs to achieve Net Zero in 2050 and limit warming to around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: CO₂ made up 44% of emissions, methane 37%, nitrous oxide 16% and F-gases 2.2%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Burkina Faso's emissions have produced around 3,550 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.09% of the global total, or around 3.5 tonnes per person per year.
