Analysis

China recorded 492,630 kt for all sectors without lulucf — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.

That represents a change of up 4.5% on the previous year and up 45.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, all sectors without lulucf — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in China peaked at 492,630 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 5,223 kt, in 1990.

That places China 1st out of 160 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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.
