Analysis
In 2023, land-use change — emissions in OECD stood at 1.09 kt.
That represents a change of up 114.7% on the previous year and down 44.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions in OECD peaked at 5.35 kt in 1998 and was at its lowest, 0.4889 kt, in 2010.

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.
