How to read this table
Emission volumes can be compared by looking at individual rows, which provide annual results for each country. The list contains 28 rows, allowing Russia's position to be viewed against other members of the global community. The unit of measurement is consistent for all rows: million tonnes of carbon dioxide
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Russia (1 711), Germany (758.8), United Kingdom (477.1), Italy (392), France (340). Gap between highest and lowest — 211.3 times. The top five account for 69.3% of the total across all entries — distribution heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual and cover 6 periods. Cells with numbers: 150 out of 150 (100%), meaning the table is almost entirely filled
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
| Indicator for 2010 | here | in the adjacent series | divergence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Россия | 1 632,3 | 1 633,1 | +0,8 |
| Австрия | 68,3 | 68,3 | +0,0 |
| Бельгия | 104,4 | 103,3 | −1,1 |
| Венгрия | 47,2 | 47,2 | +0,0 |
| Германия | 758,8 | 758,8 | +0,0 |

| Дания | 47,3 | 47,3 | +0,0 |
| Ирландия | 39,2 | 39,2 | +0,0 |
| Испания | 262,9 | 262,9 | +0,0 |
| Италия | 392,0 | 392,0 | +0,0 |

Period and application
Statistical data for the 2010–2021 period is relevant for ecologists and climate specialists. Information is updated as data is received from international organizations and Rosstat. The data helps assess the scale of the carbon footprint of various countries during the specified period
How it is calculated
