Analysis
In 2023, lulucf — emissions (co2eq) in Asia stood at -305,708 kt.
That represents a change of up 46.7% on the previous year and up 15.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, lulucf — emissions (co2eq) in Asia peaked at 1.73 million kt in 1997 and was at its lowest, -997,441 kt, in 2017.
That places Asia 44th out of 47 regions with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom 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.
