What the numbers say
In 2023, Cabo Verde's carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Total excluding non-tropical fires (Mt CO2e) did not change 0 on 2022 (from -0.06 to -0.06).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was −0.00153 and a typical year strayed about 0.00444 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.0056 in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.0072 in 2017. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
