- Brazil
- OECD
How they compare
OECD currently reports 299,414 kt against 82,319 kt in Brazil, a difference of 217,095 kt.
That makes OECD's figure about 3.6 times Brazil's.
Across all 34 years both countries report, OECD has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 5th and OECD ranks 3rd of 218 countries.
OECD has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Brazil | OECD | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 69,181 kt | 266,590 kt | 197,410 kt | OECD |
| 2000s | 72,583 kt | 296,179 kt | 223,596 kt | OECD |
| 2010s | 84,378 kt | 298,909 kt | 214,531 kt | OECD |
| 2020s | 82,133 kt | 298,394 kt | 216,261 kt | OECD |
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.
