  • Emissions: Chad emitted around 128 megatonnes CO2e in 2024, about 0.22% of the global total.
  • Per person: Emissions were around 6.3 tonnes per person per year, rated high on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
  • Trend: Emissions rose by roughly 3.5 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: Methane made up 59% of emissions, nitrous oxide 24%, CO2 17% and F-gases 0.59%.
  • Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Chad's emissions have produced around 6,640 megatonnes CO2e of warming impact, about 0.17% of the global total, or around 8.9 tonnes per person per year, rated very high.
