Hong, C., Burney, J.A., Pongratz, J. et al. Global and regional drivers of land-use emissions in 1961–2017. Nature 589, 554–561 (2021)

Objective:

• None systematically invgestigate and decompose the drivers of all land-use emissions across different process sources, spcatial scales and products

Case:

• Global countries

Methodology:

• Emission indicator

Data Source

• Blue model: LUH2
• Emission: FAO
• Pollutants: FAOSTAT and IPCC
• Population, production, land use: FAOSTAT

Findings:

• Land use accounts for 27% of global total anthropogenic GHG emissions
• Global emissions increased by 24% between 1961-2017

• The three largest-emitting regions - Latin American, Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa account for 53% of global land-use emissions and more than two-thirds of global emissions growth
• Rising global population and agricultural production per capita have increased land-use emissions for more than half a century
