Analysis
The most recent figure for net forest conversion — emissions (co2) — fao tier 1 in Australia is 1,595 kt, measured in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 8.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, net forest conversion — emissions (co2) — fao tier 1 in Australia peaked at 69,661 kt in 2001 and was at its lowest, 1,595 kt, in 2021.
Australia ranks 61st of 234 countries on this measure, 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.
