List of countries by greenhouse gas emissions

Share of global greenhouse gas emissions in% in 2015

The stated greenhouse gas emissions are based on data from the EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) database or its summary in an EU study published in 2019. The emissions are converted into CO ₂ equivalents . The list contains the absolute emissionsand the percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions . 2015 is the last reference year of the EDGAR database.
