- Australia
- Laos
How they compare
Laos currently reports 0.5411 Mt CO2e against 0.4769 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.0642 Mt CO2e.
That makes Laos's figure about 1.1 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 70th and Laos ranks 67th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 5 and Laos in 1.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
