Graph: Carbon dioxide emissions for Nigeria

Includes carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion, cement manufacture, and gas flaring, but excludes emissions from Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF).

Chart: Carbon emissions per capita for Nigeria (metric tons of carbon) Table of annual carbon emissions and per capita emissions for Nigeria . All emission estimates are expressed in thousand metric tons of carbon. Per capita emission estimates are expressed in metric tons of carbon.
