(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-06)

Are there studies showing the relative positions carbon footprints of various countries? **which one produce how much greenhouse gases**?

I'm interested in comparing developing and developed countries and continents, and prefer university studies wherever possible.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ([UNFCCC](https://unfccc.int)), which began with the Rio Convention (1992) and was updated by the Kyoto Protocol (1997) and the Paris Agreement (2016), requires that all signatory parties (i.e., countries) submit annual reports of their GHG emissions. See [Annex I Greenhouse Gas Inventories](https://unfccc.int/national_reports/annex_i_ghg_inventories/items/2715.php) for more info.
