- Libya
- Rwanda
How they compare
Libya currently reports 1.92 Mt CO2e against 1.72 Mt CO2e in Rwanda, a difference of 0.2 Mt CO2e.
That makes Libya's figure about 1.1 times Rwanda's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Libya ahead.
Libya ranks 118th and Rwanda ranks 119th of 201 countries.
Libya has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
