Europe & Central Asia (IDA & IBRD)'s carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Total excluding non-tropical fires (Mt CO2e) was -1,453 in 2023, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 12.43% from -1,660 in 2013.

What the numbers say
In 2023, Europe & Central Asia (IDA & IBRD)'s carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Total excluding non-tropical fires (Mt CO2e) fell 5.76 on 2022 (from -1,448 to -1,453).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +8.66 and a typical year strayed about 228.55 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 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 370.2 in 2012 and the biggest yearly fall was 464.17 in 2013. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 5% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
