Analysis
Thailand recorded 1,395 kt for forest fires — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 646.2% on the previous year and up 96.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, forest fires — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Thailand peaked at 2,288 kt in 2007 and was at its lowest, 187.01 kt, in 2022.
That places Thailand 10th out of 219 countries with data for 2023, putting it 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.
