Analysis

Maldives recorded 1.95 kt for food transport — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.

That represents a change of up 10.9% on the previous year and up 141.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, food transport — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Maldives peaked at 1.95 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 0.1481 kt, in 1990.

That places Maldives 146th out of 207 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.

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.
