Cyprus: Carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Deforestation (Mt CO2e)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, Cyprus' carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Deforestation (Mt CO2e) did not change 0% on 2022 (from 0.0081 to 0.0081).

Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +482.3% and a typical year strayed about 1,734.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations below 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 7,700% in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 96.9% in 2007. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2014 to 2023 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.0000279 a year. A straight line explains 84% of the movement over 10 observed years.
