- Cameroon
- Ghana
How they compare
Cameroon currently reports 1.15 Mt CO2e against 1.01 Mt CO2e in Ghana, a difference of 0.14 Mt CO2e.
That makes Cameroon's figure about 1.1 times Ghana's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ghana ahead.
Cameroon ranks 76th and Ghana ranks 79th of 190 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Cameroon averaged higher in 5 and Ghana in 1.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
