- Kenya
- Nepal
How they compare
Kenya currently reports 3.41 Mt CO2e against 3.21 Mt CO2e in Nepal, a difference of 0.2 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kenya's figure about 1.1 times Nepal's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nepal ahead.
Kenya ranks 13th and Nepal ranks 15th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 1 and Nepal in 5.

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).
