- Nepal
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 0.5669 t CO2e/capita against 0.536 t CO2e/capita in Nepal, a difference of 0.0309 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times Nepal's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Nepal ranks 160th and Nigeria ranks 158th of 203 countries.
Nigeria 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.
