Analysis
Greece recorded 0.169 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
That represents a change of up 0.6% on the previous year and down 14.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in Greece peaked at 0.7889 Mt CO2e in 1985 and was at its lowest, 0.1446 Mt CO2e, in 2008.
That places Greece 58th out of 109 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
