Total greenhouse gas emissions including LULUCF over time
- Brazil
- European Union
How they compare
European Union currently reports 2,995 Mt CO2e against 2,049 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 946 Mt CO2e.
That makes European Union's figure about 1.5 times Brazil's.
Across all 24 years both countries report, European Union has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 4th and European Union ranks 26th of 176 countries.
European Union has averaged higher in every one of the 3 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | European Union | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 2,247 Mt CO2e | 4,111 Mt CO2e | 1,864 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2010s | 1,510 Mt CO2e | 3,618 Mt CO2e | 2,108 Mt CO2e | European Union |
| 2020s | 1,998 Mt CO2e | 3,199 Mt CO2e | 1,200 Mt CO2e | European Union |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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 sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, agriculture, and land use, land use changes, and forestry (LULUCF) sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
