- Japan
- Low income
How they compare
Low income currently reports 619.9 Mt CO2e against 50.87 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 569.03 Mt CO2e.
That makes Low income's figure about 12.2 times Japan's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Low income has been ahead every year.
Japan ranks 39th and Low income ranks 38th of 203 countries.
Low income 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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
