Greenhouse gas emissions - Regions — GHG emissions from manufacturing by country
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....
What the numbers show
Greenhouse gas emissions - Regions — GHG emissions from manufacturing is currently reported for 47 countries. The highest value is 1.10 billion Tonnes of CO2-equivalent in United States of America; the lowest is 231,536 Tonnes of CO2-equivalent in Malta.
The median across all reporting countries is 23.50 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent, and the mean is 106.52 million Tonnes of CO2-equivalent.
The gap between the highest and lowest reporting country is a factor of about 4,767.
Over the past decade 18 countries rose and 29 fell. The largest increase was in Indonesia (up 52.4%), and the largest decrease in Estonia (down 68.1%).

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.
