Yearly data from 2000 to 2023, from the World Bank.
Lao PDR's carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Forest Land (Mt CO2e) was -12.47 in 2023, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 40.07% from -20.81 in 2013.
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | -12.47 | 2023 |
| Five years earlier | -12.47 | 2018 |
| Ten years earlier | -20.81 | 2013 |
| Highest | -12.47 | 2014 |
| Lowest | -45.83 | 2000 |
| Average since 2014 | -12.47 | 2014–2023 |
| First recorded | -45.83 | 2000 |
Over five years it is unchanged at from -12.47 in 2018. Since 2000 it is up 72.79% from -45.83 in 2000.
In 2023, Lao PDR's carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Forest Land (Mt CO2e) did not change 0 on 2022 (from -12.47 to -12.47).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +1.52 and a typical year strayed about 3.29 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 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 8.34 in 2012. 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 less than 1% 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.
In 2023, Lao PDR had the 116th highest value of the 179 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
