Namibia vs Niger: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Namibia
- Niger
How they compare
Namibia currently reports 1.99 Mt CO2e against 1.54 Mt CO2e in Niger, a difference of 0.45 Mt CO2e.
That makes Namibia's figure about 1.3 times Niger's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Niger ahead.
Namibia ranks 131st and Niger ranks 134th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Namibia averaged higher in 4 and Niger in 2.

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).
