Global and regional drivers of land-use emissions

We estimate country-, process-, GHG-and product-specific land-use emissions 1961-2017. Total emissions have increased to 14.6 GtCO2-eqin 2017 (~25% of anthropogenic GHG emissions). Our results may help prioritize mitigation efforts, but suggest drastic reductions in emissions will require similarly drastic changes in agricultural production and/or practices.
