Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in kt.
Analysis
Europe recorded 57.96 kt for lulucf — emissions in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is down 17.8% on the previous year and down 8.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, lulucf — emissions in Europe peaked at 505.8 kt in 1996 and was at its lowest, 57.96 kt, in 2023.
That places Europe 15th out of 47 regions 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 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.
