- India
- USSR
How they compare
India currently reports 152,763 kt against 42,916 kt in USSR, a difference of 109,847 kt.
That makes India's figure about 3.6 times USSR's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 31 shared years of data; in 1961 it was USSR ahead.
India ranks 4th and USSR ranks 7th of 232 countries.
USSR has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | India | USSR | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1960s | 3,940 kt | 12,462 kt | 8,522 kt | USSR |
| 1970s | 13,103 kt | 36,169 kt | 23,066 kt | USSR |
| 1980s | 29,823 kt | 56,270 kt | 26,447 kt | USSR |
| 1990s | 43,070 kt | 45,565 kt | 2,495 kt | USSR |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood 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). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
