Equatorial Guinea, with a population of 10,267,749 and an urban population of 1,355,986, accounting for 13.2% of the total, has produced a staggering 21,400,868.32 tons of CO2 in 2022.
This translates to a per capita CO2 emission of 21.4 tons, signifying a significant carbon footprint for each individual.
Furthermore, when examining the Carbon Intensity of GDP, which measures CO2 emissions per International dollar of economic output, Equatorial Guinea’s carbon intensity stands at 2,110.47 kg of CO2 per dollar.
This figure is substantially higher than both the USA (0.3 kg) and China (0.57 kg), highlighting the country’s heavy reliance on carbon-intensive economic activities.
