- Kenya
- Sweden
How they compare
Kenya currently reports 2.07 Mt CO2e against 1.97 Mt CO2e in Sweden, a difference of 0.1 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kenya's figure about 1.1 times Sweden's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sweden ahead.
Kenya ranks 76th and Sweden ranks 79th of 193 countries.
Sweden 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).
