Analysis
Greenland recorded 30.38 kt for pre- and post-production — emissions in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 6.7% on the previous year and up 4.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions in Greenland peaked at 46.97 kt in 2006 and was at its lowest, 26.79 kt, in 2014.
That places Greenland 207th out of 247 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 34 years of available data.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
