Abstract

Agriculture and related land-use sector is a significant contributor to climate change due to its generation of a high amount of greenhouse gas emissions. The sector is also unique among the sectors since the mitigation potential is derived from both an enhancement of removals of the emissions, as well as reduction of emissions. There is a high demand for quantitative information on emissions of greenhouse gases and sources of emissions especially on the agriculture sector which greatly influences the economic performance in Ethiopia. This paper aims to show the emissions trend and sources of the emissions focusing on emissions from key agriculture and land use processes in the country using the regularly updated data available from FAO via its FAOSTAT database. The analysis indicated that the country’s emissions from the sector kept increasing in all decades over the analysis period.
