Sub-Saharan Africa vs Sudan: Carbon intensity of GDP
Carbon intensity of GDP over time
- Sub-Saharan Africa
- Sudan
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 0.2329 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP against 0.1436 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP in Sub-Saharan Africa, a difference of 0.0893 kg CO2e per 2021 PPP $ of GDP.
That makes Sudan's figure about 1.6 times Sub-Saharan Africa's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 35 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Sub-Saharan Africa ahead.
