The latest value from 2020 is 30566 kt of CO2 equivalent, a decline from 30834 kt of CO2 equivalent in 2019. In comparison, the world average is 241624 kt of CO2 equivalent, based on data from 185 countries. Historically, the average for Madagascar from 1990 to 2020 is 26768 kt of CO2 equivalent. The minimum value, 22468 kt of CO2 equivalent, was reached in 2002 while the maximum of 30834 kt of CO2 equivalent was recorded in 2019. See the global rankings or world map for that indicator or use the country comparator to compare trends over time.

Definition: 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 savanna 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).
