- Colombia
- Kenya
How they compare
Colombia currently reports 58.86 Mt CO2e against 50.02 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 8.84 Mt CO2e.
That makes Colombia's figure about 1.2 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Colombia ahead.
Colombia ranks 16th and Kenya ranks 18th of 201 countries.
Colombia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
