| HuID: | 24789 | |
| Relevant Year(s): | 2018 | |
| Summary: | Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to deforestation, logging, forest degradation and shifting cultivation (cycle of cutting forest for agriculture, then abandoning). The value reported is for 2018, and can be found in Table 6 of Friedlingstein et al (2019). | |
| Method: | The uncertainty value represents one standard deviation. Emissions from land use change, mainly deforestation, are based on land use and land use change data and bookkeeping models. | |
