- South Africa
How they compare
South Africa currently reports 6.88 t CO2e/capita against 6.32 t CO2e/capita in Austria, a difference of 0.56 t CO2e/capita.
That makes South Africa's figure about 1.1 times Austria's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Africa ahead.
Austria ranks 39th and South Africa ranks 36th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Austria averaged higher in 2 and South Africa in 4.

About this data
Total annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
