Australia vs Mexico: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Australia
- Mexico
How they compare
Australia currently reports 2.79 Mt CO2e against 2.44 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 0.35 Mt CO2e.
That makes Australia's figure about 1.1 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mexico ahead.
Australia ranks 9th and Mexico ranks 12th of 109 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 1 and Mexico in 5.

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).
