Global map of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including agriculture and land use change, measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. [2] This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita greenhouse gas emissions due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission.
Per capita greenhouse gas emissions by country including land-use change, in the year 2000 according to World Resources Institute. Land-use change can be a factor in CO 2 (carbon dioxide) atmospheric concentration, and is thus a contributor to global climate change. [14]
Land use change emissions can be negative. [n 2] [6] In 2023, global GHG emissions reached 53.0 Gt CO 2 eq (without Land Use, land Use Change and Forestry). The 2023 data represent the highest level recorded and experienced an increase of 1.9% or 994 Mt CO 2 eq compared to the levels in 2022.
Land use change is not included. [1] Annual CO 2 emissions by region. This measures fossil fuel and industry emissions. Land use change is not included. [2] This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita carbon dioxide emissions [n 1] due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European ...
The following table lists the annual CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from the year 2000. [4] The data only consider carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry.
Percentage figures for arable land, permanent crops land and other lands are all taken from the CIA World Factbook [1] as well as total land area figures [2] (Note: the total area of a country is defined as the sum of total land area and total water area together.) All other figures, including total cultivated land area, are calculated on the ...
Total cumulative emissions from 1870 to 2022 were 703 GtC (2575 GtCO 2), of which 484±20 GtC (1773±73 GtCO 2) from fossil fuels and industry, and 219±60 GtC (802±220 GtCO 2) from land use change. Land-use change, such as deforestation, caused about 31% of cumulative emissions over 1870–2022, coal 32%, oil 24%, and gas 10%. [3] [4]
Cumulative CO2 emissions from land-use change (as of 2021). Emissions from land-use change can be positive or negative depending on whether these changes emit (positive, brown on the map) or sequester (negative) carbon (green on the map). Land use is an umbrella term to describe what happens on a parcel of land.
