Forest and land fires (karhutla) cause carbon emissions that are harmful to the environment. According to data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), carbon emissions in Indonesia in 2021 due to karhutla reached 41.4 million tons of CO2e.

Karhutla in Indonesia throughout 2021 produced more carbon emissions than the previous year, increasing by 2.7%. It is recorded that karhutla in Indonesia released 40.2 million tons of CO2e into the atmosphere in 2020.

West Kalimantan was the province with the largest carbon emissions from karhutla throughout 2021, namely 14.28 million tons of CO2e. This was followed by Riau in second place with 8.6 million tons of CO2e.

Although East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) had the largest area of karhutla in 2021, its resulting carbon emissions ranked third at 4.96 million tons of CO2e. Then, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) followed in fourth place with 2.39 million tons of CO2e.

KLHK recorded that carbon emissions from karhutla produced from 2016 to 2021 in Indonesia reached 980.5 million tons of CO2e. The highest emissions were produced from karhutla in 2019, at 624 million tons of CO2e.
