Analysis
Ghana recorded 69.8 kt for lulucf — emissions (ch4) — unfccc in 2006.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 2.6% on the previous year and up 298.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, lulucf — emissions (ch4) — unfccc in Ghana peaked at 72.31 kt in 1999 and was at its lowest, 17.53 kt, in 1990.
That places Ghana 11th out of 62 countries with data for 2006, putting it in the top quarter.
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.
