Carbon intensity of GDP over time
- Least developed countries
- Sudan
How they compare
Sudan currently reports 0.7494 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP against 0.3477 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in Least developed countries, a difference of 0.4017 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP.
That makes Sudan's figure about 2.2 times Least developed countries's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sudan ahead.
Least developed countries ranks 32nd and Sudan ranks 30th of 47 groups.
