- Congo
- Laos
How they compare
Laos currently reports 0.0836 Mt CO2e against 0.0796 Mt CO2e in Congo, a difference of 0.004 Mt CO2e.
That makes Laos's figure about 1.1 times Congo's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Laos ahead.
Congo ranks 162nd and Laos ranks 161st of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 4 and Laos in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
