- Australia
- Pakistan
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 5.14 Mt CO2e against 2.79 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 2.35 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 1.8 times Australia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Pakistan has been ahead every year.
Australia ranks 9th and Pakistan ranks 6th of 109 countries.
Pakistan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
