- Israel
- Kuwait
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 19.03 Mt CO2e against 17.44 Mt CO2e in Israel, a difference of 1.59 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 1.1 times Israel's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Israel ahead.
Israel ranks 49th and Kuwait ranks 47th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Israel averaged higher in 5 and Kuwait in 1.

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).
