China vs OECD: Agrifood Systems Waste Disposal — Emissions
Agrifood Systems Waste Disposal — Emissions over time
- China
- OECD
How they compare
China currently reports 10,378 kt against 9,548 kt in OECD, a difference of 830 kt.
That makes China's figure about 1.1 times OECD's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was OECD ahead.
China ranks 1st and OECD ranks 3rd of 235 countries.
China has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | OECD | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 8,745 kt | 8,547 kt | 197.65 kt | China |
| 2000s | 9,646 kt | 9,547 kt | 99.47 kt | China |
| 2010s | 10,204 kt | 9,585 kt | 619 kt | China |
| 2020s | 10,361 kt | 9,515 kt | 845.35 kt | China |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food 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). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
