Analysis
In 2023, forest fires — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Ecuador stood at 3.39 kt.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 10.5% on the previous year and up 265.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, forest fires — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Ecuador peaked at 19.48 kt in 2012 and was at its lowest, 0.371 kt, in 2000.
That places Ecuador 69th 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.
