Analysis
Nepal recorded 0 kt per person for land-use change — emissions (co2eq) (ar5), per capita in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 172.7% on the previous year and up 0.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions (co2eq) (ar5), per capita in Nepal peaked at 0.0001 kt per person in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0 kt per person, in 2002.
That places Nepal 81st out of 200 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.

How this figure is calculated
Land-use change — Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Land-use change — Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Land-use change — Emissions (CO2eq) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
