- Australia
- Mexico
How they compare
Mexico currently reports 686.78 Mt CO2e against 591.45 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 95.33 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mexico's figure about 1.2 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 15th and Mexico ranks 12th of 204 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 1 and Mexico in 5.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
