Key Messages

• Emissions: Mozambique emitted around 60.3 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.11% 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 fell by roughly 1 megatonne CO₂e a year, or 1.64% yearly, over the ten years to 2024-slower than the 4% yearly global decline needed for Net Zero in 2050 and warming of around 1.7 °C.
• What drives it: Methane made up around 44% of emissions, CO₂ 34%, nitrous oxide 21% and F-gases 0.9%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Mozambique's emissions have produced around 5,840 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.15% of the global total, or around 3.7 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate.
