Analysis
In 2023, land-use change — emissions per capita in Canada stood at 2.36 t CO2eq/cap.
The figure is down 1.3% on the previous year and up 67.4% over five years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions per capita in Canada peaked at 4.05 t CO2eq/cap in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0 t CO2eq/cap, in 2001.
Canada ranks 11th of 187 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions indicators disseminates indicators on sectoral shares of total national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as three indicators of emissions intensity: per capita emissions; emissions per value of agricultural production; and emissions per area of agricultural land.
