A.3
Total aggregate anthropogenic emissions of UNFCCC Member Countries
(Including CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6, excluding emissions/removals from land use, land-use change and forestry,1990, 1995 and 2000–2004)
Source: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. 2006. National greenhouse gas inventory data for the period 1990–2004 and status of reporting. Submitted to the twenty-fifth session, Nairobi, 6–14 November 2006 (Table 4), p. 12-13.
A.4
25 Largest Countries: GHG Emissions, Economy, and Population
Notes: MtCO2 eq. is millions of tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. Emissions exclude those from international bunker fuels and land-use change and forestry. Countries not among the top 25 absolute emitters are shown in italics. GHG data is from 2000; other data is from 2002. GDP is measured in terms of purchasing power parity (constant 2000 international dollars).
