How is Indonesia different from other countries in terms of greenhouse gas emission (GHG)?
Indonesia had the sixth-highest amount of greenhouse gas emissions in 2012.
A large portion of Indonesia’s greenhouse gas emissions come from changes in land-use and forestry (LUCF). That’s true in Brazil and Canada too.
In Indonesia, Brazil and Canada, changes in land use including logging and converting forest to agriculture contributed to greenhouse gas emissions. Land use changes like reforestation and natural growth absorbed greenhouse gasses in the rest of the countries.
