- Iceland
- Norway
How they compare
Iceland currently reports 0.0009 Mt CO2e against 0.0004 Mt CO2e in Norway, a difference of 0.0005 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iceland's figure about 2.2 times Norway's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iceland ahead.
Iceland ranks 106th and Norway ranks 108th of 109 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iceland averaged higher in 3 and Norway 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).
