What the numbers say
In 2023, Seychelles' carbon dioxide (CO2) net fluxes from LULUCF - Forest Land (Mt CO2e) did not change 0 on 2022 (from -0.29 to -0.29).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +0.000677 and a typical year strayed about 0.00203 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 0.0064 in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.0063 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 0.000912 a year. A straight line explains 50% of the movement over 10 observed years.
