Analysis

Italy recorded 1,948 kt for net forest conversion — emissions (co2eq) (ar5) — unfccc in 2020. That is the highest value across all 31 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.3% on the previous year and up 4.3% over ten years.

Over the whole period, net forest conversion — emissions (co2eq) (ar5) — unfccc in Italy peaked at 1,948 kt in 2020 and was at its lowest, 340.22 kt, in 1990.

That places Italy 13th out of 46 countries with data for 2020, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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.
