- China
- Eastern Asia
How they compare
Eastern Asia currently reports 1.20 million kt against 1.04 million kt in China, a difference of 165,080 kt.
That makes Eastern Asia's figure about 1.2 times China's.
Across all 34 years both countries report, Eastern Asia has been ahead every year.
China ranks 2nd and Eastern Asia ranks 4th of 226 countries.
Eastern Asia has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | China | Eastern Asia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 222,769 kt | 347,553 kt | 124,784 kt | Eastern Asia |
| 2000s | 548,037 kt | 700,086 kt | 152,049 kt | Eastern Asia |
| 2010s | 881,328 kt | 1.05 million kt | 167,183 kt | Eastern Asia |
| 2020s | 998,890 kt | 1.16 million kt | 164,740 kt | Eastern Asia |
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.
