Key Messages

• Emissions: Gabon emitted around 28 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, accounting for 0.05% of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 11 tonnes per person per year in 2024, rated extremely high on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by roughly 0.71% a year over the ten years to 2024, slower than the 4% yearly decline the world as a whole needs to achieve Net Zero in 2050 and limit warming to around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: Methane made up around 48% of emissions in 2024, CO₂ 44%, F-gases 5.1% and nitrous oxide 2.5%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Gabon's emissions have produced around 2,700 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, 0.07% of the global total. This equals a population-weighted average of around 22.8 tonnes per person per year.
