Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Mali is 0.5626 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.1% on the previous year and down 7.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Mali peaked at 1.24 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1950 and was at its lowest, 0.1678 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1870.
Mali ranks 42nd of 201 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
