Uganda Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions 1990-2024

Total greenhouse gas emissions in kt of CO2 equivalent are composed of CO2 totals excluding short-cycle biomass burning (such as agricultural waste burning and Savannah burning) but including other biomass burning (such as forest fires, post-burn decay, peat fires and decay of drained peatlands), all anthropogenic CH4 sources, N2O sources and F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6).
  • Uganda greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2020 was 39,280.05, a 2.87% increase from 2019.
  • Uganda greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2019 was 38,185.42, a 1.68% increase from 2018.
  • Uganda greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2018 was 37,555.38, a 3.59% increase from 2017.
  • Uganda greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions for 2017 was 36,253.10, a 2.13% increase from 2016.
