Analysis
Malawi recorded 5,964 kt for afolu — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of up 26.9% on the previous year and up 124.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, afolu — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Malawi peaked at 5,964 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 1,002 kt, in 1994.
That places Malawi 58th out of 222 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
