Sub-Saharan Africa vs Thailand: Food Packaging — Emissions (CO2eq)
Food Packaging — Emissions (CO2eq) over time
- Sub-Saharan Africa
- Thailand
How they compare
Sub-Saharan Africa currently reports 5,349 kt against 1,943 kt in Thailand, a difference of 3,406 kt.
That makes Sub-Saharan Africa's figure about 2.8 times Thailand's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Sub-Saharan Africa ahead.
Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 19th and Thailand ranks 20th of 32 groups.
Sub-Saharan Africa has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Sub-Saharan Africa | Thailand | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1,189 kt | 976.04 kt | 212.92 kt | Sub-Saharan Africa |
| 2000s | 2,506 kt | 1,276 kt | 1,230 kt | Sub-Saharan Africa |
| 2010s | 4,774 kt | 1,743 kt | 3,032 kt | Sub-Saharan Africa |
| 2020s | 5,546 kt | 1,704 kt | 3,843 kt | Sub-Saharan Africa |
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.
