Total greenhouse gas emissions (% change from 1990)

The value for Total greenhouse gas emissions (% change from 1990) in Puerto Rico was 11.97 as of 2012. As the graph below shows, over the past 21 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 11.97 in 2012 and a minimum value of -6.83 in 1992.

Definition: Total greenhouse gas emissions are composed of CO2 totals excluding short-cycle biomass burning (such as agricultural waste burning and Savannah burning) but including other biomass burning (such as forest fires, post-burn decay, peat fires and decay of drained peatlands), all anthropogenic CH4 sources, N2O sources and F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6). Each year of data shows the percentage change to that year from 1990.
