A figure showing the 7.1 GtCO2 gap between inventory estimates of net land use change estimates and global bookkeeping model estimates.

A graphic showing national greenhouse gas emissions of Australia and Canada from 1990 to 2022, based on data from their national GHG inventories. Emissions and removals are also shown for the inventory memo "natural disturbances on managed land", which would influence national totals if they were included. The 2020 wildfire in Australia released GHG emissions equivalent to all anthropogenic emissions that year - but a full accounting of the event should also take into account removals from subsequent regrowth, as shown in later years.

A figure showing the greenhouse gas emissions of Indonesia from 1990 to 2023. Land use emissions make up a large portion of the total.

A figure showing large reductions in Denmark's GHG emissions, driven almost entirely by power sector decarbonisation. Emissions in other sectors (transport, agriculture, buildings, industry and waste) have remained stable.

We, The Drowned by Carsten Jensen

Emissions increased in China, India and international aviation, and decreased in the EU, USA, Japan and the land use sector
