Analysis
In 2023, land-use change — emissions (co2eq) in Canada stood at 92,700 kt.
That represents a change of up 75.7% over five years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions (co2eq) in Canada peaked at 112,668 kt in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0 kt, in 2001.
That places Canada 5th out of 222 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.
