Côte d'Ivoire

The latest open data on emissions, energy and forests, compared with ten years earlier and with the world average.

In 2024, 0.5 tonnes of CO₂ per person were emitted on average, from fossil fuels and industry. The world average is 4.7.

Compared with 2014, the value has risen by 15%.

29% of electricity comes from renewables and nuclear (2024).

Forests cover 7.9% of the land (2023).

From 2001 to 2025, trees disappeared from 4,198,745 hectares: 28.2% of the area that was tree-covered in 2000.
