Analysis
In 2023, afolu — emissions per capita in Japan stood at -0.02 t CO2eq/cap. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 94.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, afolu — emissions per capita in Japan peaked at -0.02 t CO2eq/cap in 2021 and was at its lowest, -1.02 t CO2eq/cap, in 2008.
That places Japan 190th out of 209 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 indicators disseminates indicators on sectoral shares of total national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as three indicators of emissions intensity: per capita emissions; emissions per value of agricultural production; and emissions per area of agricultural land.
