- Afghanistan
- Denmark
How they compare
Denmark currently reports 0.0595 Mt CO2e against 0.0518 Mt CO2e in Afghanistan, a difference of 0.0077 Mt CO2e.
That makes Denmark's figure about 1.1 times Afghanistan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Afghanistan ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 81st and Denmark ranks 79th of 109 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 3 and Denmark in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
