Analysis
Nepal recorded 1,297 kt for land-use change — emissions (co2eq) in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 172.5% on the previous year and up 8.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions (co2eq) in Nepal peaked at 2,677 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 111.35 kt, in 2002.
That places Nepal 60th out of 222 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.
