Greenhouse gas emissions from forestry and land use, 2018–2022
Annual contributions of forestry and land use to the country's carbon balance are recorded in million tonnes of CO2 equivalent for the period from 2018 to 2022. Negative values indicate that forest lands and other territories absorb more carbon dioxide than they emit. Eight rows allow for tracking changes in indicators for forest lands, arable lands, and the sector total. Rosstat provides this data to assess the environmental situation, where each land type contributes specifically to the overall dynamics of greenhouse gas absorption over the five-year period

How to read this table
The breakdown into eight rows helps to see how the load is distributed between forest and arable lands, as well as the overall national picture. Comparing values between rows helps identify which land use type is the primary carbon sink, while year-on-year comparisons within a single row demonstrate the stability of these processes in the short term. The total figure aggregates all data to form a complete picture of the carbon footprint characteristic of the natural sector of the Russian economy during the period under review
What is visible in these numbers
“cropland” leads the table with 19.3, “Total” closes it with -1,229.

Period and application
The updated Rosstat data for 2018–2022 enables environmental and ecology specialists to track the effectiveness of natural ecosystems in combating climate change. The information is suitable for conducting analytical research, assessing the dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions and absorption, and preparing environmental status reports. The materials remain relevant for those involved in climate change monitoring and sustainable natural resource management within the framework of official statistics
1) Знак «минус» означает абсорбцию (поглощение) парниковых газов из атмосферы.
2) Включает абсорбцию СО2 лесной растительностью, эмиссию СО2 от лесозаготовок и эмиссию СО2, CH4 и N2O от лесных пожаров.
3) Включает абсорбцию СО2 травяными экосистемами и эмиссию СО2, CH4 и N2O от травяных пожаров.
