Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Hungary
- Iraq
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 10.3 Mt CO2e against 9.33 Mt CO2e in Hungary, a difference of 0.97 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.1 times Hungary's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Hungary ahead.
Hungary ranks 42nd and Iraq ranks 39th of 193 countries.
Hungary has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
