- Brazil
- Europe
How they compare
Europe currently reports 10,621 kt against 6,806 kt in Brazil, a difference of 3,815 kt.
That makes Europe's figure about 1.6 times Brazil's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 65 shared years of data; in 1961 it was Europe ahead.
Brazil ranks 19th and Europe ranks 20th of 215 countries.
Europe has averaged higher in every one of the 9 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.
