- Greenland
- Madagascar
How they compare
Madagascar currently reports 0.4358 Mt CO2e against 0.3418 Mt CO2e in Greenland, a difference of 0.094 Mt CO2e.
That makes Madagascar's figure about 1.3 times Greenland's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Madagascar ahead.
Greenland ranks 131st and Madagascar ranks 128th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greenland averaged higher in 2 and Madagascar in 4.

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).
