- Libya
- Other small states
How they compare
Libya currently reports 8.66 t CO2e/capita against 3.68 t CO2e/capita in Other small states, a difference of 4.98 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Libya's figure about 2.4 times Other small states's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Libya ahead.
Libya ranks 24th and Other small states ranks 22nd of 203 countries.
Libya 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.
