🇳🇪 Niger's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Key Messages

• Emissions: Niger emitted around 53.4 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, about 0.09% of the global total.
• Per person: This was around 2 tonnes per person per year, rated low on a scale where any level above zero adds warming.
• Trend: Emissions fell by around 0.94 megatonnes CO₂e a year, or 1.7% annually, over the ten years to 2024-slower than the 4% yearly global decline needed for Net Zero in 2050 and around 1.7 °C warming.
• What drives it: Methane accounts for around 58% of Niger's emissions, nitrous oxide 26%, CO₂ 15% and F-gases 1.4%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Niger's emissions have produced around 4,360 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, about 0.11% of the global total, averaging 4.9 tonnes per person per year, rated moderate.
