Greenhouse gas emissions - Regions — GHG emissions from waste over time
- Denmark
- Finland
How they compare
Denmark currently reports 3.13 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent against 2.57 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent in Finland, a difference of 558,030 Tonnes of CO2-equivalent.
That makes Denmark's figure about 1.2 times Finland's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 54 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Finland ahead.
Denmark ranks 32nd and Finland ranks 34th of 47 countries.
Finland has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
This dataset provides indicators on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in large (TL2) and small (TL3) regions. Data definition and source GHG are estimated by sector of origin at the subnational level using the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) (Joint Research Centre). See the methodology. Definition of regions Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). For more information, see the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and the OECD Territorial Correspondence Table (xlsx). Cite this dataset OECD Regions, Cities and Local Areas database http://oe.cd/geostats.
