- Japan
- Philippines
How they compare
Philippines currently reports 43.03 Mt CO2e against 38.9 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 4.13 Mt CO2e.
That makes Philippines's figure about 1.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 25th and Philippines ranks 23rd of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Japan averaged higher in 3 and Philippines in 3.

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).
