Analysis
Zimbabwe recorded 46.6 kt for forest fires — emissions (co2eq) in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 45.8% on the previous year and down 82.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, forest fires — emissions (co2eq) in Zimbabwe peaked at 473.04 kt in 1998 and was at its lowest, 19.72 kt, in 2000.
Zimbabwe ranks 55th of 236 countries on this measure, in the top 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.
