- Canada
- OECD members
How they compare
OECD members currently reports 19.47 Mt CO2e against 1.4 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 18.07 Mt CO2e.
That makes OECD members's figure about 14.0 times Canada's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, OECD members has been ahead every year.
Canada ranks 9th and OECD members ranks 9th of 197 countries.
OECD members 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 building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
