Agrifood systems — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases over time
- China, mainland
- OECD
How they compare
OECD currently reports 162,207 kt against 102,119 kt in China, mainland, a difference of 60,088 kt.
That makes OECD's figure about 1.6 times China, mainland's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was OECD ahead.
China, mainland ranks 3rd and OECD ranks 1st of 191 countries.
OECD has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
