Analysis
OECD recorded 9,476 kt for forest fires — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 266.1% on the previous year and up 132.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, forest fires — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in OECD peaked at 11,922 kt in 2019 and was at its lowest, 1,709 kt, in 2010.
OECD ranks 1st of 214 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
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.
