How they compare

Least developed countries currently reports 140.82 Mt CO2e against 23.9 Mt CO2e in Belgium, a difference of 116.92 Mt CO2e.

That makes Least developed countries's figure about 5.9 times Belgium's.

The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Belgium ahead.

Belgium ranks 38th and Least developed countries ranks 37th of 194 countries.

Across the 6 decades both report, Belgium averaged higher in 1 and Least developed countries in 5.

A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
