Belgium vs Japan: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- Belgium
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 7.84 t CO2e/capita against 7.31 t CO2e/capita in Belgium, a difference of 0.53 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.1 times Belgium's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Belgium ahead.
Belgium ranks 31st and Japan ranks 28th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Belgium averaged higher in 4 and Japan in 2.

About this data
Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
