Analysis
Italy recorded 16.24 kt for forest fires — emissions (co2eq) in 2023.
The figure is up 18.9% on the previous year and up 107.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, forest fires — emissions (co2eq) in Italy peaked at 71.23 kt in 2007 and was at its lowest, 0.914 kt, in 2015.
That places Italy 60th out of 214 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.
