Analysis
India recorded 1,686 kt for lulucf — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 31.6% on the previous year and down 48.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, lulucf — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in India peaked at 5,947 kt in 2021 and was at its lowest, 343.94 kt, in 2002.
That places India 10th out of 214 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
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.
