Analysis

World recorded 484,821 kt for pre- and post-production — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 48.6% over ten years.

Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions (co2eq) from f-gases in World peaked at 484,821 kt in 2021 and was at its lowest, 49,941 kt, in 1996.

World ranks 1st of 32 groups on this measure, in the top 10%.

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.
