Analysis

Southern Asia recorded 541,046 kt for pre- and post-production β€” emissions (co2eq) in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.

That represents a change of up 0.1% on the previous year and up 15.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, pre- and post-production β€” emissions (co2eq) in Southern Asia peaked at 541,046 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 223,252 kt, in 1990.

That places Southern Asia 10th out of 38 groups with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.

The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 34 years of available data.

The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food 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). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
