- Benin
- Burkina Faso
How they compare
Benin currently reports 7.05 Mt CO2e against 6.48 Mt CO2e in Burkina Faso, a difference of 0.57 Mt CO2e.
That makes Benin's figure about 1.1 times Burkina Faso's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Benin ahead.
Benin ranks 126th and Burkina Faso ranks 129th of 203 countries.
Benin 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 agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
