- North Korea
- Small states
How they compare
Small states currently reports 4.77 Mt CO2e against 3.21 Mt CO2e in North Korea, a difference of 1.56 Mt CO2e.
That makes Small states's figure about 1.5 times North Korea's.
Across all 35 years both countries report, Small states has been ahead every year.
North Korea ranks 47th and Small states ranks 42nd of 154 countries.
Small states has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | North Korea | Small states | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 0.1353 Mt CO2e | 0.6606 Mt CO2e | 0.5253 Mt CO2e | Small states |
| 2000s | 0.9075 Mt CO2e | 1.47 Mt CO2e | 0.5662 Mt CO2e | Small states |

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of fluorinated gases (hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
