- Canada
- Laos
How they compare
Canada currently reports 1,120 against 793.4 in Laos, a difference of 326.6.
That makes Canada's figure about 1.4 times Laos's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 30 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Laos ahead.
Canada ranks 15th and Laos ranks 18th of 208 countries.
Across the 3 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 1 and Laos in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Canada | Laos | Difference | Ahead |

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from agriculture and forest land. They consist of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from crop and livestock activities, forest management and include land use and land use change processes. Data are computed at Tier 1 of the IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Estimates are available by country, with global coverage for the period 1961–2019 with projections for 2030 and 2050 for some categories of emissions or 1990–2019 for others. The database is updated annually. The FAOSTAT domain Emissions Totals disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O and CO2 emissions/removals and their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 106 kg). The latter are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014).
