Greenhouse Gas Emissions Factsheet: Mozambique

This factsheet provides information on 2013 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Mozambique. Included is an overview of emissions by sector, changes in emissions over time, information on carbon intensity, as well as climate change mitigation targets and plans. 

 
Mozambique’s total GHG emissions in 2013 were 66.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e), totaling 0.14% of global GHG emissions. 2013 GHG emissions came primarily from the land-use change and forestry (LUCF) sector, which accounted for 58.8% of the country’s total emissions. Within the LUCF sector, changes in forest land contributed 95% of emissions. Agriculture was the second highest emitting sector (26.8%). Energy, waste, and industrial processes (IP) accounted for 8.9%, 4%, and 1.5%, respectively, of total emissions. 
 
In its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), Mozambique states its intent to implement climate change actions identified in national policies and programs. Mozambique aims to achieve target level emission reductions of 76.5 MtCO2e between 2020 and 2030.
