- Nigeria
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 374.1 Mt CO2e against 60.44 Mt CO2e in Nigeria, a difference of 313.66 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 6.2 times Nigeria's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, South Asia has been ahead every year.
Nigeria ranks 23rd and South Asia ranks 26th of 194 countries.
South Asia 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).
