Mongolia vs Small states: Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture
Methane (CH4) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Mongolia
- Small states
How they compare
Mongolia currently reports 18.68 Mt CO2e against 7.7 Mt CO2e in Small states, a difference of 10.98 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mongolia's figure about 2.4 times Small states's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mongolia ahead.
Mongolia ranks 46th and Small states ranks 44th of 201 countries.
Mongolia 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).
