- Pakistan
- United States of America
How they compare
United States of America currently reports 6.84 Mt CO2e against 5.14 Mt CO2e in Pakistan, a difference of 1.7 Mt CO2e.
That makes United States of America's figure about 1.3 times Pakistan's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United States of America ahead.
Pakistan ranks 6th and United States of America ranks 5th of 109 countries.
United States of America has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Pakistan | United States of America | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.761 Mt CO2e | 3.43 Mt CO2e | 2.66 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
| 1980s | 1.57 Mt CO2e | 3.99 Mt CO2e | 2.43 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
| 1990s | 2.76 Mt CO2e | 4.91 Mt CO2e | 2.15 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
| 2000s | 4.12 Mt CO2e | 5.56 Mt CO2e | 1.44 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
| 2010s | 4.86 Mt CO2e | 6.45 Mt CO2e | 1.59 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
| 2020s | 5.29 Mt CO2e | 6.75 Mt CO2e | 1.46 Mt CO2e | United States of America |
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).
