Analysis
In 2023, land-use change — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Uganda stood at 4.9 kt.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 18.9% on the previous year and down 66.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Uganda peaked at 262.75 kt in 1999 and was at its lowest, 4.24 kt, in 2020.
That places Uganda 47th 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.

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.
