Land-use change — Emissions per capita in Northern Europe, 1990–2023
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in t CO2eq/cap.
Analysis
Northern Europe recorded 0.1 t CO2eq/cap for land-use change — emissions per capita in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 60.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions per capita in Northern Europe peaked at 0.33 t CO2eq/cap in 2001 and was at its lowest, 0.1 t CO2eq/cap, in 2021.
That places Northern Europe 17th out of 31 groups with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 34 years of available data.

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.
