Greenhouse gas emissions - Regions — GHG emissions from ground over time
- Brazil
- Germany
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 207.28 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent against 139.43 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent in Germany, a difference of 67.85 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.5 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 54 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Brazil ranks 4th and Germany ranks 7th of 47 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 2 and Germany in 4.

About this data
This dataset provides indicators on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in large (TL2) and small (TL3) regions. Data definition and source GHG are estimated by sector of origin at the subnational level using the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) (Joint Research Centre). See the methodology. Definition of regions Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). For more information, see the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and the OECD Territorial Correspondence Table (xlsx). Cite this dataset OECD Regions, Cities and Local Areas database http://oe.cd/geostats.
