- Sub-Saharan Africa
- Ukraine
How they compare
Sub-Saharan Africa currently reports 4.36 Mt CO2e against 0.772 Mt CO2e in Ukraine, a difference of 3.59 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sub-Saharan Africa's figure about 5.6 times Ukraine's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ukraine ahead.
Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 32nd and Ukraine ranks 31st of 44 groups.

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).
