Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Kenya
- Sri Lanka
How they compare
Sri Lanka currently reports 23.33 Mt CO2e against 21.64 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 1.69 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sri Lanka's figure about 1.1 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kenya ahead.
Kenya ranks 85th and Sri Lanka ranks 83rd of 203 countries.

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).
