Sudan emits roughly 18 Mt of CO₂ per year — about 0.05% of global emissions, ranking #90 worldwide. At 0.4 tonnes per person (#106 per capita), its footprint is far below the global average of ~4.7 t.

Emissions have declined steadily over the past five years (-19%) and surged over the decade (+36%). The recent decline marks a turnaround after a decade of growth.

Renewables supply about 80% of electricity. The power sector is largely decarbonized, so remaining emissions come mostly from transport, industry and heating.

If the current pace holds, Sudan could cut another ~19% by 2030. Maintaining clean growth while industrializing is the key challenge.
