Analysis
Greenland recorded 0.1389 kt for food household consumption — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in 2023.
The figure is down 15.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food household consumption — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in Greenland peaked at 0.1667 kt in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.0026 kt, in 1994.
That places Greenland 103rd out of 116 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 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.
