- France
- Northern America
How they compare
Northern America currently reports 7,918 kt against 1,225 kt in France, a difference of 6,693 kt.
That makes Northern America's figure about 6.5 times France's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 32 shared years of data; in 1992 it was Northern America ahead.
France ranks 5th and Northern America ranks 4th of 88 countries.
Northern America has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | France | Northern America | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 199.05 kt | 491.42 kt | 292.37 kt | Northern America |
| 2000s | 982.55 kt | 1,446 kt | 463.92 kt | Northern America |

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.
