- Nigeria
- Tunisia
How they compare
Tunisia currently reports 4.72 Mt CO2e against 4.46 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 0.26 Mt CO2e.
That makes Tunisia's figure about 1.1 times Nigeria's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nigeria ahead.
Nigeria ranks 57th and Tunisia ranks 55th of 193 countries.
Nigeria 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).
