Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in Japan stood at 0.6265 Mt CO2e.
The figure is down 1.0% on the previous year and down 5.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in Japan peaked at 1.52 Mt CO2e in 1983 and was at its lowest, 0.1152 Mt CO2e, in 2006.
That places Japan 34th 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).
