Food Processing — Emissions (CO2eq) over time
- Greenland
- Lesotho
How they compare
Greenland currently reports 17.81 kt against 15.44 kt in Lesotho, a difference of 2.37 kt.
That makes Greenland's figure about 1.2 times Lesotho's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 7 shared years of data; in 2017 it was Lesotho ahead.
Greenland ranks 94th and Lesotho ranks 96th of 107 countries.
Across the 2 decades both report, Greenland averaged higher in 1 and Lesotho in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Greenland | Lesotho | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | 17.05 kt | 20.87 kt | 3.82 kt | Lesotho |
| 2020s | 17.37 kt | 14.82 kt | 2.55 kt | Greenland |
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.
