- Brazil
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 279.46 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent against 178.24 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent in Brazil, a difference of 101.22 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.6 times Brazil's.
Across all 54 years both countries report, Japan has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 7th and Japan ranks 4th of 47 countries.
Japan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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.
