Africa Eastern and Southern vs Least developed countries: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Africa Eastern and Southern
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 56.28 Mt CO2e against 42.5 Mt CO2e in Africa Eastern and Southern, a difference of 13.78 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 1.3 times Africa Eastern and Southern's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Africa Eastern and Southern ahead.
Africa Eastern and Southern ranks 38th and Least developed countries ranks 36th of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Africa Eastern and Southern averaged higher in 4 and Least developed countries in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
