- Latvia
- Yemen
How they compare
Latvia currently reports 2.92 Mt CO2e against 2.75 Mt CO2e in Yemen, a difference of 0.17 Mt CO2e.
That makes Latvia's figure about 1.1 times Yemen's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Latvia ahead.
Latvia ranks 112th and Yemen ranks 113th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Latvia averaged higher in 2 and Yemen in 4.

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).
