- Belgium
- Canada
How they compare
Canada currently reports 1.7% against -0.7% in Belgium, a difference of 2.4%.
That makes Canada's figure about 2.5 times Belgium's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1991 it was Belgium ahead.
Belgium ranks 151st and Canada ranks 148th of 203 countries.
Belgium has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.

About this data
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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). Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
