European Union vs Russian Federation: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture over time
- European Union
- Russian Federation
How they compare
European Union currently reports 8.49 Mt CO2e against 7.99 Mt CO2e in Russian Federation, a difference of 0.5 Mt CO2e.
That makes European Union's figure about 1.1 times Russian Federation's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, European Union has been ahead every year.
European Union ranks 28th and Russian Federation ranks 4th of 46 groups.
European Union 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).
