- Greenland
- Tonga
How they compare
Greenland currently reports 0.1031 Mt CO2e against 0.0866 Mt CO2e in Tonga, a difference of 0.0165 Mt CO2e.
That makes Greenland's figure about 1.2 times Tonga's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Tonga ahead.
Greenland ranks 184th and Tonga ranks 186th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greenland averaged higher in 3 and Tonga in 3.

About this data
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).
