Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in IDA only stood at 6.5 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.9% on the previous year and up 52.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in IDA only peaked at 6.5 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 1.12 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising 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).
