All greenhouse gases except emissions from deforestation and land-use change.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country. For all of them that is 2024.

The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding land use, land-use change and forestry. The split is essential for comparing countries: in Brazil and Indonesia the contribution of deforestation is comparable to the whole of the rest of the economy, while for most developed countries land use comes out negative — forests are growing and absorb more than they release. The same list of countries therefore looks different under the two versions of the indicator.
Important: The difference from total greenhouse gases is exactly the contribution of land use — and it can be negative if a country's forests absorb more than they lose.
All greenhouse gases in CO2 equivalent, including methane and nitrous oxide.
Emissions 1850–2024 CO2 emissions from land useEmissions from deforestation and land-use change. They can be negative.
Emissions 1850–2024 Methane emissionsHow much methane a country emits — converted into CO2 equivalent.
Emissions 1850–2024 Greenhouse gases per capitaHow much greenhouse gas falls on each resident — all gases, not CO2 alone.
