- Jamaica
- Latvia
How they compare
Latvia currently reports 2.92 Mt CO2e against 2.69 Mt CO2e in Jamaica, a difference of 0.23 Mt CO2e.
That makes Latvia's figure about 1.1 times Jamaica's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Latvia ahead.
Jamaica ranks 115th and Latvia ranks 112th of 194 countries.
Latvia 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 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).
