China vs IDA & IBRD total: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- China
- IDA & IBRD total
How they compare
IDA & IBRD total currently reports 1,362 Mt CO2e against 249.49 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 1,113 Mt CO2e.
That makes IDA & IBRD total's figure about 5.5 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IDA & IBRD total has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and IDA & IBRD total ranks 2nd of 201 countries.
IDA & IBRD total has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), 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.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 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).
