Analysis
Japan recorded 2,543 kt for land-use change — emissions in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 35.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions in Japan peaked at 5,538 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 793.93 kt, in 2001.
That places Japan 50th out of 222 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.
