Globally, the distribution of greenhouse gas emissions varies by country, with different sectors accounting for a larger or smaller portion of emissions than others. The energy sector typically accounts for the largest share of a country's total GHG emissions. For example, the energy sector contributed almost 90 percent of Japan's total GHG emissions in 2019. In comparison, the largest source of GHG emissions in Brazil was the agriculture sector, with a share of 45 percent.
