- Nigeria
- Spain
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 1.12 Mt CO2e against 1.02 Mt CO2e in Spain, a difference of 0.1 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Spain's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Spain ahead.
Nigeria ranks 26th and Spain ranks 27th of 109 countries.
Spain 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).
