Land-use change — Emissions per capita in Nepal, 1990–2023
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in t CO2eq/cap.
Analysis
Nepal recorded 0.04 t CO2eq/cap for land-use change — emissions per capita in 2023.
The figure is up 100.0% on the previous year and unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions per capita in Nepal peaked at 0.1 t CO2eq/cap in 2016 and was at its lowest, 0 t CO2eq/cap, in 2002.
That places Nepal 78th out of 187 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.

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.
