Japan vs Malaysia: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- Japan
- Malaysia
How they compare
Malaysia currently reports 8.32 t CO2e/capita against 7.84 t CO2e/capita in Japan, a difference of 0.48 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Malaysia's figure about 1.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Japan ranks 28th and Malaysia ranks 26th of 203 countries.
Japan has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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.
