- Hong Kong
- Myanmar
How they compare
Myanmar currently reports 1.94 Mt CO2e against 1.83 Mt CO2e in Hong Kong, a difference of 0.11 Mt CO2e.
That makes Myanmar's figure about 1.1 times Hong Kong's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Hong Kong ahead.
Hong Kong ranks 82nd and Myanmar ranks 80th of 193 countries.

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).
