- Thailand
- Viet Nam
How they compare
Viet Nam currently reports 16.78 Mt CO2e against 13.79 Mt CO2e in Thailand, a difference of 2.99 Mt CO2e.
That makes Viet Nam's figure about 1.2 times Thailand's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Viet Nam ahead.
Thailand ranks 33rd and Viet Nam ranks 32nd of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Thailand averaged higher in 4 and Viet Nam in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Thailand | Viet Nam | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 4.46 Mt CO2e | 10.86 Mt CO2e | 6.4 Mt CO2e | Viet Nam |
| 1980s | 6.06 Mt CO2e | 3.2 Mt CO2e | 2.85 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 1990s | 9.53 Mt CO2e | 5.01 Mt CO2e | 4.52 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2000s | 15.31 Mt CO2e | 10.41 Mt CO2e | 4.91 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2010s | 17.85 Mt CO2e | 13.44 Mt CO2e | 4.41 Mt CO2e | Thailand |
| 2020s | 13.4 Mt CO2e | 15.15 Mt CO2e | 1.75 Mt CO2e | Viet Nam |
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).
