Analysis
Ghana recorded 0.0012 units per square kilometre for emission totals - emissions (co2eq) (ar5) - crop residues, per square in 2019. That is the highest value across all 59 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 14.8% on the previous year and up 58.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emission totals - emissions (co2eq) (ar5) - crop residues, per square in Ghana peaked at 0.0012 units per square kilometre in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 units per square kilometre, in 1965.
That places Ghana 73rd out of 184 countries with data for 2019, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) - Crop Residues divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) - Crop Residues ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) - Crop Residues FAO, FAOSTAT Climate Change, Emissions Totals, http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/GT
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
