Analysis
In 2023, pre- and post-production — emissions in Asia stood at 1.76 million kt. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.4% on the previous year and up 18.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions in Asia peaked at 1.76 million kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 389,470 kt, in 1990.
That places Asia 1st out of 22 regions with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 34 years of available data.

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.
