Micronesia - Greenhouse gas emissions
Total greenhouse gas emissions (kt of CO2 equivalent)
The value for Total greenhouse gas emissions (kt of CO2 equivalent) in Micronesia was 270.00 as of 2018. As the graph below shows, over the past 27 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 270.00 in 2018 and a minimum value of 10.00 in 1991.
Definition: Total greenhouse gas emissions in kt of CO2 equivalent 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).

Total greenhouse gas emissions (% change from 1990)
The value for Total greenhouse gas emissions (% change from 1990) in Micronesia was 21.95 as of 1996. As the graph below shows, over the past 5 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 21.95 in 1996 and a minimum value of 1.85 in 1991.
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.
