Analysis
Cameroon recorded 336.74 kt for forest fires — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in 2023.
The figure is down 34.4% on the previous year and down 25.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, forest fires — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in Cameroon peaked at 3,334 kt in 1998 and was at its lowest, 244.05 kt, in 2014.
That places Cameroon 26th out of 214 countries with data for 2023, putting it 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.
