- China
- Middle income
How they compare
Middle income currently reports 1,595 Mt CO2e against 423.62 Mt CO2e in China, a difference of 1,171 Mt CO2e.
That makes Middle income's figure about 3.8 times China's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Middle income has been ahead every year.
China ranks 1st and Middle income ranks 4th of 204 countries.
Middle income 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 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).
