Pre- and post-production — Emissions (CO2eq) from F-gases over time
- Southern Africa
- Switzerland
How they compare
Southern Africa currently reports 3,939 kt against 3,204 kt in Switzerland, a difference of 735 kt.
That makes Southern Africa's figure about 1.2 times Switzerland's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Southern Africa ahead.
Southern Africa ranks 28th and Switzerland ranks 27th of 31 groups.
Across the 4 decades both report, Southern Africa averaged higher in 2 and Switzerland in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Southern Africa | Switzerland | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 745.47 kt | 674.25 kt | 71.22 kt | Southern Africa |
| 2000s | 1,841 kt | 2,247 kt | 405.41 kt | Switzerland |
| 2010s | 2,983 kt | 3,065 kt | 82.32 kt | Switzerland |
| 2020s | 3,900 kt | 3,105 kt | 794.78 kt | Southern Africa |
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.
