Environment · OECD members
Yearly data from 2000 to 2023, from the World Bank.
OECD members's carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Forest Land (Mt CO2e) was -1,529 in 2023, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 14.38% from -1,786 in 2013.
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | -1,529 | 2023 |
| Five years earlier | -1,592 | 2018 |
| Ten years earlier | -1,786 | 2013 |
| Highest | -1,501 | 2022 |
| Lowest | -1,834 | 2001 |
| Average since 2014 | -1,607 | 2014–2023 |
| First recorded | -1,744 | 2000 |
Over five years it is up 3.97% from -1,592 in 2018. Since 2000 it is up 12.35% from -1,744 in 2000.
In 2023, OECD members' carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Forest Land (Mt CO2e) fell 28.26 on 2022 (from -1,501 to -1,529).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +11.08 and a typical year strayed about 68.86 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 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 142.32 in 2015 and the biggest yearly fall was 127.72 in 2016. 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 26.73 a year. A straight line explains 73% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Extending that straight line gives about -1,397 for 2026. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2021 to 2023 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 27.75, against 48.11 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
