Analysis
The most recent figure for energy — emissions (co2eq) in Nepal is 16,414 kt, measured in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.8% on the previous year and up 84.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy — emissions (co2eq) in Nepal peaked at 16,414 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 1,408 kt, in 1961.
Nepal ranks 99th of 197 countries on this measure, 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.
