- Samoa
- Vanuatu
How they compare
Samoa currently reports 0.1783 Mt CO2e against 0.1453 Mt CO2e in Vanuatu, a difference of 0.033 Mt CO2e.
That makes Samoa's figure about 1.2 times Vanuatu's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Vanuatu ahead.
Samoa ranks 177th and Vanuatu ranks 179th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Samoa averaged higher in 5 and Vanuatu in 1.

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).
