AFOLU Sector

The AFOLU sector consists of three sub-sectors, namely Livestock, Land and Aggregate Sources and Non-CO2 Emission Sources on Land*. AFOLU sector contributed ~171 Mt of CO2 equivalent emissions (6%) of India's economy-wide emissions in 2018. The three important greenhouse gases for the AFOLU sector are Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) (removals). The major contributing sub-sectors are: Livestock that emitted 10.56 Mt of CH4, and 0.002 Mt of N2O; Aggregate Sources emitted 3.54 Mt of CH4 and 0.18 Mt of N2O; and the Land sub-sector removed 180.97 Mt of CO2. The lead sector partner for AFOLU is Vasudha Foundation.
