🇬🇳 Guinea's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Key Messages

• Emissions: In 2024, Guinea emitted around 79.7 megatonnes CO₂e, around 0.14% of the global total.
• Per person: Emissions were around 5.4 tonnes per person per year, rated high on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by around 0.61 megatonnes CO₂e a year, or 0.75% annually, over the ten years to 2024-slower than the 4% yearly global decline needed to achieve Net Zero in 2050 and limit warming to around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: CO₂ makes up around 62% of emissions, methane 27%, nitrous oxide 9.7% and F-gases 1.3%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Guinea's emissions have produced around 6,600 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, around 0.17% of the global total, averaging around 9.5 tonnes per person per year on a population-weighted basis, rated very high.
