Key Insights

Livestock Estimates Follow the Census Years

Activity data for livestock is based on the census conducted every five years corresponding to the 19th Livestock Census (2012) and 20th Livestock Census (2019). The data for intervening years have been interpolated and hence associated with lower data reliability. Data availability was inconsistent for sheep, mules, horses, and rabbits, with several years lacking reported data.

Bhuvan Land Data Skips 2019

For the Land sector, the official source - Bhuvan reports data for all the years except 2019 for unknown reasons, hence these values have been interpolated.

Aggregate Source Data Remains Incomplete

For Aggregate sources (3C), the activity data required for the subcategories remain unavailable. The assumptions applied for estimating sub-category 3C6 are consistent with those used for IPCC Category 3A Livestock.

Carbon Sink Tracker Covers District Land

Climate Dot has prepared a tool (Gujarat Carbon Sink Tracker) that brings together spatial and time series information on the state's land types, carbon sinks and hotspots at a district level.
