- Afghanistan
- Congo
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 2.91 Mt CO2e against 2.75 Mt CO2e in Congo, a difference of 0.16 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Congo's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Afghanistan ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 101st and Congo ranks 102nd of 194 countries.
Afghanistan 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 electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
