Cumulative CO2 emissions in Africa 1750-2021

Published by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Research Department, Nov 11, 2022
Africa emitted around billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel combustion and cement production between 1884 and 2021. The continent has made a small contribution to the global CO2 emissions, which added up to over **** trillion metric tons since the start of the Industrial Revolution in 1750. From a country perspective, the United States and China have been the world's leading CO2 emitters.
