Analysis
Nepal recorded 0.087 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 11.3% on the previous year and down 39.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in Nepal peaked at 0.236 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 2007.
Nepal ranks 71st of 109 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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).
