How they compare

Russian Federation currently reports 3.57 Mt CO2e against 2.07 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 1.5 Mt CO2e.

That makes Russian Federation's figure about 1.7 times Canada's.

The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russian Federation ahead.

Canada ranks 7th and Russian Federation ranks 6th of 194 countries.

Russian Federation has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

Head to head by decade

Decade Canada Russian Federation Difference Ahead
1970s 1.59 Mt CO2e 4 Mt CO2e 2.4 Mt CO2e Russian Federation
1980s 1.68 Mt CO2e 4.96 Mt CO2e 3.28 Mt CO2e Russian Federation
1990s 1.73 Mt CO2e 2.5 Mt CO2e 0.7697 Mt CO2e Russian Federation
2000s 2.16 Mt CO2e 2.46 Mt CO2e 0.3007 Mt CO2e Russian Federation
2010s 2.18 Mt CO2e 2.4 Mt CO2e 0.2124 Mt CO2e Russian Federation
2020s 2.02 Mt CO2e 3.25 Mt CO2e 1.24 Mt CO2e Russian Federation

Averages of every year both report within each decade.

A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
