AFOLU — Emissions in Greenland
Greenland: AFOLU — Emissions was 0.0005 kt in 2023. ◆ Volatile
AFOLU — Emissions in Greenland, 1990–2023
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in kt.
Analysis
Greenland recorded 0.0005 kt for afolu — emissions in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 25.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, afolu — emissions in Greenland peaked at 0.005 kt in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0 kt, in 1996.
That places Greenland 191st out of 217 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.
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.
