Senegal's greenhouse gas emissions account for 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions as of 2026.
NOT BSTOTAL BS
TOTAL BS — Verdict: False
Verified by Lenz ·
The Short Version
Senegal's share of global greenhouse gas emissions is approximately 0.05–0.06%, not 0.1% as claimed. Multiple authoritative sources — including Worldometer, Climate Change Tracker, and a direct calculation using Climate Analytics and UNEP data — consistently place the figure at roughly half the claimed value. No credible source reports Senegal at or near 0.1% for any year. The claim nearly doubles Senegal's actual share and is not supported by available evidence.
Caveats
Every quantified source places Senegal's share at ~0.05–0.06% of global GHG emissions, making the 0.1% figure approximately double the actual value.
The proponent's argument relies on speculative accounting adjustments (e.g., LULUCF inclusion) and a misapplied 2030 projection, neither of which is supported by any source reporting Senegal near 0.1%.
Even under the most generous accounting framework and projected emissions growth, Senegal's share would remain well below 0.1% of the global total.
