Least developed countries vs Low income: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Least developed countries
- Low income
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 39.15 Mt CO2e against 25.29 Mt CO2e in Low income, a difference of 13.86 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 1.5 times Low income's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Low income ahead.
Least developed countries ranks 37th and Low income ranks 39th of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Least developed countries averaged higher in 2 and Low income in 4.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 8.18 Mt CO2e | 19.17 Mt CO2e | 10.99 Mt CO2e | Low income |
| 1980s | 10.69 Mt CO2e | 30.47 Mt CO2e | 19.78 Mt CO2e | Low income |
| 1990s | 12.81 Mt CO2e | 27.3 Mt CO2e | 14.49 Mt CO2e | Low income |
| 2000s | 22.65 Mt CO2e | 30.85 Mt CO2e | 8.2 Mt CO2e | Low income |
| 2010s | 35.02 Mt CO2e | 22.57 Mt CO2e | 12.45 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
| 2020s | 40.04 Mt CO2e | 24.52 Mt CO2e | 15.52 Mt CO2e | Least developed countries |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
