Greenland vs Small states: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- Greenland
- Small states
How they compare
Greenland currently reports 10.45 t CO2e/capita against 4.42 t CO2e/capita in Small states, a difference of 6.03 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Greenland's figure about 2.4 times Small states's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Small states ahead.
Greenland ranks 20th and Small states ranks 18th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greenland averaged higher in 3 and Small states 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.
