Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from tree cover loss associated with shifting agriculture totaled *** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCOâ‚‚e) in 2023. This represents a growth in emissions of more than *** percent from 2001 levels. Shifting agriculture is where forests are cleared for small to medium-scale agricultural production for *** to three years, and then temporarily abandoned to allow trees to regrow.
