Analysis
Uganda recorded 0.15 t CO2eq/cap for land-use change — emissions per capita in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is down 6.2% on the previous year and down 63.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, land-use change — emissions per capita in Uganda peaked at 1.74 t CO2eq/cap in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0.15 t CO2eq/cap, in 2023.
That places Uganda 61st 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.
