Analysis
In 2023, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in Uganda stood at 0.175 kt. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of up 18.5% on the previous year and up 258.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — emissions in Uganda peaked at 0.175 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.0056 kt, in 1990.
That places Uganda 65th out of 242 countries with data for 2023, putting it 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 Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
