China vs IBRD only: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture over time
- China
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 104.5 Mt CO2e against 16.97 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 87.53 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 6.2 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
China ranks 2nd and IBRD only ranks 5th of 109 countries.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

| Decade | China | IBRD only | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 5.86 Mt CO2e | 31.99 Mt CO2e | 26.12 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 12.9 Mt CO2e | 53.7 Mt CO2e | 40.8 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 20.95 Mt CO2e | 66.71 Mt CO2e | 45.76 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 25.03 Mt CO2e | 82.53 Mt CO2e | 57.49 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 21.09 Mt CO2e | 98.18 Mt CO2e | 77.09 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 16.42 Mt CO2e | 104.31 Mt CO2e | 87.88 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
