- Indonesia
- Pakistan
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 203.87 Mt CO2e against 88.4 Mt CO2e in Indonesia, a difference of 115.47 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 2.3 times Indonesia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Indonesia ahead.
Indonesia ranks 7th and Pakistan ranks 5th of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Indonesia averaged higher in 2 and Pakistan in 4.

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).
