Greenland vs Low & middle income: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- Greenland
- Low & middle income
How they compare
Greenland currently reports 10.45 t CO2e/capita against 3.64 t CO2e/capita in Low & middle income, a difference of 6.81 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Greenland's figure about 2.9 times Low & middle income's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Low & middle income ahead.
Greenland ranks 20th and Low & middle income ranks 25th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greenland averaged higher in 3 and Low & middle income in 3.

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.
