Japan vs Least developed countries: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Japan
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 5.92 Mt CO2e against 0.6265 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 5.29 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 9.4 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 34th and Least developed countries ranks 31st of 109 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 1 and Least developed countries in 5.

| 1980s | 1.41 Mt CO2e | 1.17 Mt CO2e | 0.2428 Mt CO2e | Japan |
| 1990s | 1.17 Mt CO2e | 1.87 Mt CO2e | 0.6985 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2000s | 0.874 Mt CO2e | 2.31 Mt CO2e | 1.44 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2010s | 0.6799 Mt CO2e | 3.62 Mt CO2e | 2.94 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2020s | 0.634 Mt CO2e | 5.35 Mt CO2e | 4.71 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
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).
