- China
- Low & middle income
How they compare
Low & middle income currently reports 2,370 Mt CO2e against 1,396 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 974 Mt CO2e.
That makes Low & middle income's figure about 1.7 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Low & middle income has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and Low & middle income ranks 4th of 203 countries.
Low & middle income 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 industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
