- Guyana
- Suriname
How they compare
Suriname currently reports 0.0077 Mt CO2e against 0.0071 Mt CO2e in Guyana, a difference of 0.0006 Mt CO2e.
That makes Suriname's figure about 1.1 times Guyana's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Guyana ahead.
Guyana ranks 158th and Suriname ranks 156th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Guyana averaged higher in 5 and Suriname 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).
