Analysis
Iceland recorded 0.0009 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in 2024.
That represents a change of up 12.5% on the previous year.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in Iceland peaked at 0.0101 Mt CO2e in 1976 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 2000.

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).
