- Afghanistan
- Peru
How they compare
Peru currently reports 14.34 Mt CO2e against 12.48 Mt CO2e in Afghanistan, a difference of 1.86 Mt CO2e.
That makes Peru's figure about 1.1 times Afghanistan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Afghanistan ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 55th and Peru ranks 52nd of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 1 and Peru in 5.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), 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.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).
