Annex I countries vs China: Food Household Consumption — Emissions
Food Household Consumption — Emissions over time
- Annex I countries
- China
How they compare
China currently reports 522,503 kt against 280,903 kt in Annex I countries, a difference of 241,600 kt.
That makes China's figure about 1.9 times Annex I countries's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Annex I countries ahead.
Annex I countries ranks 4th and China ranks 1st of 33 groups.
Across the 4 decades both report, Annex I countries averaged higher in 2 and China in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Annex I countries | China | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 311,526 kt | 93,115 kt | 218,411 kt | Annex I countries |
| 2000s | 329,205 kt | 178,731 kt | 150,474 kt | Annex I countries |
| 2010s | 290,982 kt | 347,676 kt | 56,694 kt | China |
| 2020s | 282,778 kt | 496,396 kt | 213,618 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.
