- Denmark
- Nigeria
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 4.46 Mt CO2e against 3.7 Mt CO2e in Denmark, a difference of 0.76 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.2 times Denmark's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Denmark ahead.
Denmark ranks 59th and Nigeria ranks 57th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Denmark averaged higher in 4 and Nigeria 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).
