- Japan
- Russian Federation
How they compare
Russian Federation currently reports 2,576 Mt CO2e against 1,063 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 1,513 Mt CO2e.
That makes Russian Federation's figure about 2.4 times Japan's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Russian Federation has been ahead every year.
Japan ranks 7th and Russian Federation ranks 4th of 203 countries.
Russian Federation has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
