Analysis
OECD recorded 0.9 t CO2eq/cap for afolu — emissions per capita in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is up 8.4% on the previous year and up 1,400.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, afolu — emissions per capita in OECD peaked at 0.9 t CO2eq/cap in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.06 t CO2eq/cap, in 2013.

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.
