Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) - Greenhouse gas emissions

Other greenhouse gas emissions, HFC, PFC and SF6 (thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent)

The value for Other greenhouse gas emissions, HFC, PFC and SF6 (thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent) in Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) was 26,896 as of 2016. As the graph below shows, over the past 46 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 2,060,156 in 1970 and a minimum value of -9,980 in 1997.

Definition: Other greenhouse gas emissions are by-product emissions of hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride.

Total greenhouse gas emissions (kt of CO2 equivalent)

The value for Total greenhouse gas emissions (kt of CO2 equivalent) in Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) was 1,427,120 as of 2018. As the graph below shows, over the past 28 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 1,427,120 in 2018 and a minimum value of 618,150 in 1990.

Definition: Total greenhouse gas emissions in kt of CO2 equivalent are composed of CO2 totals excluding short-cycle biomass burning (such as agricultural waste burning and Savannah burning) but including other biomass burning (such as forest fires, post-burn decay, peat fires and decay of drained peatlands), all anthropogenic CH4 sources, N2O sources and F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6).

Total greenhouse gas emissions (% change from 1990)

The value for Total greenhouse gas emissions (% change from 1990) in Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) was 56.15 as of 2012. As the graph below shows, over the past 21 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 57.89 in 1998 and a minimum value of -16.46 in 1993.

Definition: Total greenhouse gas emissions are composed of CO2 totals excluding short-cycle biomass burning (such as agricultural waste burning and Savannah burning) but including other biomass burning (such as forest fires, post-burn decay, peat fires and decay of drained peatlands), all anthropogenic CH4 sources, N2O sources and F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6).
