- Iceland
- Kuwait
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 0.0031 Mt CO2e against 0.0009 Mt CO2e in Iceland, a difference of 0.0022 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 3.4 times Iceland's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iceland ahead.
Iceland ranks 106th and Kuwait ranks 104th of 109 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iceland averaged higher in 3 and Kuwait in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
