Least developed countries vs Switzerland: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Least developed countries
- Switzerland
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 39.15 Mt CO2e against 9.67 Mt CO2e in Switzerland, a difference of 29.48 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 4.0 times Switzerland's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Switzerland ahead.
Least developed countries ranks 37th and Switzerland ranks 41st of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Least developed countries averaged higher in 3 and Switzerland in 3.

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).
