Total greenhouse gas emissions including LULUCF over time
- India
- World
How they compare
World currently reports 54,077 Mt CO2e against 3,721 Mt CO2e in India, a difference of 50,356 Mt CO2e.
That makes World's figure about 14.5 times India's.
Across all 24 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.
India ranks 3rd and World ranks 1st of 176 countries.
World has averaged higher in every one of the 3 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | World | Difference | Ahead |

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).
