Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) situations: Carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Deforestation (Mt CO2e)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) situations' carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Deforestation (Mt CO2e) fell 0% on 2022 (from 1,017 to 1,017).

Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +1.3% and a typical year strayed about 9.3% 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 36.2% in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 22.6% in 2015. 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 24% 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.
