Analysis

Peru recorded 61 kt for land-use change — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in 2023.

Compared with earlier readings it is down 33.3% on the previous year and up 5.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in Peru peaked at 270.22 kt in 2005 and was at its lowest, 6.85 kt, in 2001.

That places Peru 30th out of 218 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.

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.
