Analysis
Afghanistan recorded 91.49 for non-co2 ghg emissions by sector (mt co2 eq) - total including lucf in 2018. That is the highest value across all 29 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.7% on the previous year and up 237.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, non-co2 ghg emissions by sector (mt co2 eq) - total including lucf in Afghanistan peaked at 91.49 in 2018 and was at its lowest, 11.97, in 1994.
Afghanistan ranks 27th of 189 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Total non-CO2 emissions (including LUCF) are generated from the World Resource Institute's Climate Watch. Climate Watch Historical Emission data contains sector-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for 194 countries and the European Union (EU) for the period 1990-2018, including emissions of the six major GHGs from most major sources and sinks. Non-CO2 emissions are expressed in CO2 equivalents using 100-year global warming potential values from IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Climate Watch Historical GHG Emissions data (previously published through CAIT Climate Data Explorer) are derived from several sources. Any use of the Land-Use Change and Forestry or Agriculture indicator should be cited as FAO 2020, FAOSTAT Emissions Database. Any use of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion data should be cited as CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, OECD/IEA, 2020.
