How they compare

Russian Federation currently reports 166.95 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent against 139.16 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent in Canada, a difference of 27.79 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent.

That makes Russian Federation's figure about 1.2 times Canada's.

The two have swapped places 3 times across 54 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.

Canada ranks 6th and Russian Federation ranks 4th of 47 countries.

Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 2 and Russian Federation in 4.

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.
