About this data

Namibia's environment & energy on Databook compiles 26 indicators from 14 open datasets including World Bank WDI, Ember, UNESCO World Heritage. Key figures include co₂ emissions (3.65 Mt CO₂), co₂ per capita (1.2 t CO₂). Data is referenced to 2026. Every value carries its source and publication year, published under open licenses.
