Info

The 2000–2005 growth rate in African fossil fuel emissions was 3.2% per year (y −1 ) very close to the global average. Fossil fuel emissions per capita in Africa are among the lowest in the world, at 0.32 t per year (y −1 ) compared to the global average of 1.2 t per year (y −1 ). Uganda has the highest consumption rate for biomass energy in the East African region (93%). This has implications on GHG emissions and loss of forest cover. 162 Source: State of Environment Report for Uganda (2008) Bush burning in Nakasongola District, Central Uganda Regional Emissions from LUC&F South & S.E Asia Tropical Africa S. and Central America Source: Canadell et al 2009 NEMA 2006
