🇨🇻 Cabo Verde's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Key Messages

• Emissions: Cabo Verde emitted around 0.9 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, a 0% share of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 1.7 tonnes per person per year, rated low on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions rose by around 0.013 megatonnes CO₂e a year over the ten years to 2024, or roughly 1.6% a year, 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 makes up 66.74% of emissions, methane 17.2%, nitrous oxide 9.83% and F-gases 6.24%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Cabo Verde's emissions have produced around 38.4 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, a 0% global share, or around 0.9 tonnes per person per year.
