Analysis
In 2023, lulucf — emissions (co2eq) in Congo stood at -3,760 kt.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 5.2% on the previous year and down 128.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, lulucf — emissions (co2eq) in Congo peaked at 16,565 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, -3,812 kt, in 2021.
That places Congo 213th out of 239 countries 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.
