Key Messages

• Emissions: Senegal emitted around 37.2 megatonnes CO₂e in 2024, accounting for 0.07% 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 rose by around 2.31% 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: CO₂ made up 48.22% of emissions, methane 30.69%, nitrous oxide 16.49% and F-gases 4.6%.
• Historic responsibility: Since 1851, Senegal's emissions have produced around 2,210 megatonnes CO₂e of warming impact, 0.06% of the global total, or around 2.9 tonnes per person per year on a population-weighted basis, rated moderate.
