Philippines vs Sub-Saharan Africa: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Philippines
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
Sub-Saharan Africa currently reports 238.01 Mt CO2e against 38.86 Mt CO2e in Philippines, a difference of 199.15 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sub-Saharan Africa's figure about 6.1 times Philippines's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Sub-Saharan Africa has been ahead every year.
Philippines ranks 31st and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 29th of 194 countries.
Sub-Saharan Africa 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).
