Ivory Coast carbon profile

Ivory Coast emits roughly 15 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.04% of global emissions, ranking #92 worldwide. At 0.5 tonnes per person (#104 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have surged over the past five years (+41%) and surged over the decade (+50%). Growth in energy demand is still outpacing clean-energy deployment.

Renewables supply about 29% of electricity. Electricity remains dominated by fossil fuels, making the power sector the biggest decarbonization lever.

Without policy shifts, emissions could grow another ~41% by 2030 as the economy expands. Accelerating renewable build-out is the highest-impact opportunity.
