OECD members vs Thailand: Carbon intensity of GDP
Carbon intensity of GDP over time
- OECD members
- Thailand
How they compare
Thailand currently reports 0.5985 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP against 0.1945 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in OECD members, a difference of 0.404 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP.
That makes Thailand's figure about 3.1 times OECD members's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was OECD members ahead.
OECD members ranks 44th and Thailand ranks 41st of 47 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, OECD members averaged higher in 1 and Thailand in 5.
