Analysis
Ecuador recorded 7.33 kt for forest fires — emissions (co2eq) in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 10.3% on the previous year and up 267.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, forest fires — emissions (co2eq) in Ecuador peaked at 42.02 kt in 2012 and was at its lowest, 0.7882 kt, in 2017.
That places Ecuador 78th out of 236 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 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.
