- Germany
- New Zealand
How they compare
New Zealand currently reports 0.6911 Mt CO2e against 0.6217 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.0694 Mt CO2e.
That makes New Zealand's figure about 1.1 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 35th and New Zealand ranks 32nd of 109 countries.

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).
